· The Redskins held the Cowboys to their lowest offensive yardage total since Week 9 of the 2010 season, a span of 45 games.

· Morris scored his third rushing touchdown of the season, the 16th of his career, on a career-long 45-yard run in the third quarter.

· In three career games against Dallas, Morris has rushed 73 times for 394 yards and five rushing touchdowns. All three totals are his most against any opponent.

· Wide receiver Santana Moss caught two passes for 42 yards. With a 26-yard reception in the fourth quarter, Moss (7,513) surpassed 7,500 receiving yards with the Redskins, joining Art Monk (12,026), Charley Taylor (9,110) and Gary Clark (8,742) as the only players in team history to reach the milestone.

· Quarterback Robert Griffin III completed 19-of-39 passes for 246 yards. He also added nine rushing attempts for 77 yards, both season highs.

· Griffin III posted his fourth career game of 200-plus passing yards and 75-plus rushing yards, his first since Week 11 vs. Philadelphia last season. He is two shy of matching Randall Cunningham and Michael Vick, both of whom are each responsible for six career games with 200 passing yards and 75 rushing yards.

· Griffin III’s 77 rushing yards on Sunday surpassed his previous season total of 72 yards gained through the team’s first four games.

· Griffin III’s nine carries and 77 rushing yards were his most since posting 12 carries for 84 yards vs. Philadelphia in Week 11 last season.

· Garçon became the first Redskin in the Super Bowl era to post at least six receptions in each of the team’s first five games of a season.

· Garçon now has 35 receptions for 408 yards this season. His 35 receptions are the most by a Redskin through the first five games of a season in the Super Bowl era, surpassing Santana Moss’ 33 receptions through the first five games of the 2005 season.

The points were the Redskins’ first opening drive points of the season and the team’s first opening drive points in a regular season game since Week 14 vs. Baltimore last year.

· The 13-play drive matched the Redskins’ longest scoring drive of the season, tying a 13-play drive vs. Detroit in Week 3.

· Forbath had his first multi-field-goal game since Week 16 at Philadelphia last year, the game in which he set the NFL record for most consecutive field goals made to start a career (17).

· Linebacker Rob Jackson played in his first game of the season and registered his first interception of the season in the second quarter. The interception was the fifth of his career and gives him interceptions in each of the Redskins’ last two regular season games, including Week 17 vs. Dallas last season.

Coincidence ?

I think not !

Unleash the Gumbs !!
 
The Redskins didn't force Romo to take any chances and throw the ball down the field. Washington self-destructed and Dallas just stood around and watched.

This was a pretty poor showing for a team coming off a bye week and facing a team that lost several starters early in the first half.
 
Redskins defense wasn't on the field much because of the special team gaffs that allowed the Cowboys to score 14 pts. in the bat of an eye. The offense moved the ball maintained time of possesion but failed in the redzone more than once to score a TD. Add in Griffs fumble Dallas didn't have many yards gained on 3 possessions yet still manged to put up 21 pts. They shut down Dez Bryant so it wasn't all bad but the stats are misleading imho.
