Redskins vs. Cowboys 2013 results: Dallas overcomes injuries, wins 31-16
The Cowboys had a few injury scares but still took care of business against Washington.
The Dallas Cowboys suffered injuries to running back DeMarco Murray and pass rusher DeMarcus Ware but still managed to earn a convincing, 31-16 win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday Night Football in Week 6.
Tony Romo and the rest of the Cowboys' offense were unspectacular, but a strong defensive effort and crucial plays on special teams helped Dallas maintain a comfortable lead throughout the game. In particular, Dwayne Harris' 86-yard punt return for a touchdown swung momentum permanently in the Cowboys' favor.
Rookie running back Joseph Randle replaced Murray and scored a touchdown of his own.
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
Fantasy studs and duds
