Dak Prescott throws four TDs as Cowboys crush Commanders - ESPN

ARLINGTON, Texas — The home success just keeps on coming for the Dallas Cowboys, although the timing of this one was a little different than the previous four home games.

This time the Cowboys scored 25 points in the fourth quarter to put away Washington and maintain supremacy at AT&T Stadium, outscoring opponents 198-60.

More importantly they kept their chase of the Philadelphia Eagles alive with their 45-10 win against the Commanders.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw four more touchdown passes and completed passes to 10 different players. The defense forced three fourth-down stops in the second half. Brandon Aubrey made his 22nd straight field goal try of the season.

And to cap it off, DaRon Bland set an NFL record with his fifth pick-six of the season and second in five days, returning a Sam Howell pass 63 yards.

Now comes the fun part for the Cowboys: In their next five games they play the Seattle Seahawks, Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions. They will have their chance to show if they are a legitimate Super Bowl contender as the final stretch beckons.

QB breakdown: Dak Prescott has said he feels like he's in the zone. Thursday was a continuation, even though Prescott had a couple of throws he may have liked back, like a deep ball on the first drive to CeeDee Lamb and an overthrow of Jake Ferguson in the third quarter.

But when it mattered, he made the play and avoided mistakes. In his last six games, Prescott has 18 touchdown passes (four vs. Washington to Rico Dowdle, Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, KaVontae Turpin) and two interceptions. His last hot stretch: the first six games of the 2021 season when he had 16 touchdown passes and four interceptions.

Pivotal play: Let's call it plays.
