Washington had all the momentum. It seemed like their fortunes were finally turning around against an NFC East rival.

Instead of staying poised as the fourth quarter arrived, Griffin appeared to begin rushing himself and stopped making the correct reads. Backed up deep in his own territory, he stumbled in the pocket and was stripped by a Cowboys defensive linemen on the 3-yard line. Dallas went on to punch the ball in, taking a 31-16 lead.

Washington was solid on offense but couldn’t finish drives. The rushing attack seemed to be working for most of the night, as Washington piled up 199 rushing yards to Dallas’ 48. The offensive advantage didn’t help, though
