Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys secured the NFC East title and No. 2 seed in the conference with a 38-10 win against the rival Commanders, finishing with a 12-5 record for the season.
Prescott threw four TD passes, ensuring a postseason trip for Dallas. Washington, on the other hand, now holds the No. 2 overall pick in April’s draft after a 4-13 record.
Last year, the Cowboys fell short against Washington, but this season, they have turned things around with a stellar home record and a 16-game winning streak.
With thousands of Cowboys fans in the stands, Washington’s losing streak extended to eight games, resulting in the firing of their defensive coordinator and a disappointing season.
Washington’s quarterback Sam Howell struggled, with two interceptions and a league-leading 65 sacks, as they secured the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming draft.
It was a redemption for Prescott, who had a poor performance against Washington last year. This time, he led the Cowboys to a decisive victory.
The Cowboys now prepare to host the Packers in their upcoming match at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday.
