The Dallas Cowboys came away with yet another statement win on the season, as they picked up a 27-20 road victory over the Washington Football Team in Week 14.

The theme for the Cowboys in this win centered on their success in winning the line of scrimmage battle on both sides of the ball with relative ease. On offense, five different players combined to total for 122 rushing yards, which sure continued to exhaust the front seven of Washington.

On the defensive side of the ball, rookie linebacker Micah Parsons guided the front seven. The Cowboys totaled for nine quarterback hits, five sacks and one defensive touchdown, as Washington simply had an arduous time in containing the constant pressure from Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and company.

After the game, Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs took to Twitter to provide for a simple, three-word reaction to his team’s third win over an NFC East opponent this season.

The Cowboys’ proficiency in getting to opposing quarterbacks has been among the more notable factors behind their success so far this year. For one, they have recorded 31 sacks this year, which equals their total from last season (31 in 16 games).

Overall, the Cowboys continue to inch closer to clinching the NFC East for the first time since the 2018 season. For now, three of their remaining four games in the season will come against division opponents, which include Week 15’s pivotal road matchup with the New York Giants.
