Everything went Dallas’s way in a 56–14 romp of Washington on Sunday night, as the Cowboys offense put up the most points of any team this season.
On the first series of the NFL’s Sunday nights matchup, Washington forced the Cowboys to punt, with the offense taking over at its own 28-yard line. From that point on, everything fell apart.
Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke threw an interception on the first play of the drive, setting the tone for what would become a 56–14 Cowboys romp.
Dallas reached the 56-point mark less than a minute into the fourth quarter, setting a new high water mark for points in a game by any team this season. Seven different players found the end zone, including touchdown passes from Dak Prescott to a wide receiver, running back, tight end and offensive lineman—the first time in NFL history that feat has ever been pulled off, per ESPN Stats & Info.
The Cowboys offense scored touchdowns on five straight possessions to end the first half, and also added a defensive score for good measure. Dallas’s special teams got involved on the action with a blocked punt recovered for a score in the third quarter, and took a 56–7 lead on a Cooper Rush touchdown pass to Malik Turner early in the fourth. Behold video evidence of each score below—unless, of course, you’re a fan of the Football Team. In which case, our deepest condolences to you.
