REDSKINS-COWBOYS GAME NOTES
• The Washington Redskins fell to the Dallas Cowboys, 27-23, in front of an announced crowd of 80,612 people at FedExField on Sunday.
• The Redskins gained 432 yards of offense and have reached the 400-yard mark in four of their last five regular season games, dating back to last season.
• The Redskins recorded four sacks. The team has registered four or more sacks in four of their last five regular season games, dating back to last season.
• Safety DeAngelo Hall played in his 100th career regular season game with the Redskins, joining Darrell Green (295), Brig Owens (158), Pat Fischer (126), Ken Houston (112), Mark Murphy (109), Reed Doughty (107), Fred Smoot (101) and Todd Bowles (100) as the only defensive backs to play 100 regular season games for the team.
• Kicker Dustin Hopkins converted 3-of-3 field goal attempts. It marks the first time in his career he has recorded consecutive three-field goal performances.
• With the three successful field goals on Sunday, Hopkins has now converted his last 10 field goal attempts in regular season play, tying his previous career-long streak (10, Weeks 5-11 last season).
• Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 28-of-46 passes for 364 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
• Cousins recorded his 14th career 300-yard game, including postseason play. With the performance, he tied Joe Theismann (14) for second-most in team history.
• Including postseason play, Cousins has recorded 300 passing yards in six of his last seven games. The only game in that span in which he did not throw for 300 yards was Week 17 last season at Dallas, when he was rested in the second quarter with the division title already in hand.
• The game snapped Cousins’ streak of nine consecutive regular season games with a completion percentage of 65.0 or better, dating back to last season. The streak was tied for the second-longest in the NFL since 1960, trailing only Joe Montana (10 in 1989).
• With his touchdown pass, Cousins tied Gus Frerotte (48) for eighth-most career touchdown passes in team history.
• With his seventh pass of the game, Cousins became the 12th quarterback in Redskins history to attempt 1,000 career passes with the team.

• Cousins also contributed 20 rushing yards on two carries, the second-highest rushing total of his career.
• Running back Matt Jones recorded his first rushing touchdown of the season, the fourth of his career, on a 14-yard run in the second quarter. It was his first since Week 5 of the 2015 season at Atlanta.

• The Redskins averaged 4.8 yards per carry, the team’s highest single-game total since Week 10 last season vs. New Orleans (6.7).
• Wide receiver Jamison Crowder recorded his first receiving touchdown of the season on an 11-yard pass from Cousins in the third quarter.
• The receiving touchdown was Crowder’s third of his career and his first since Week 17 at Dallas last season.
• Crowder finished the game with a team-high six receptions for 39 yards.
• Crowder also recorded a career-long 21-yard punt return in the second quarter, eclipsing his 17-yard return vs. Pittsburgh last week.

• Davis gained 32 yards on a third-quarter reception, his longest reception since Week 2 last season as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.
• Defensive end Ziggy Hood played in his 100th career regular season game.
