With the exception of Minnesota, those teams win because they pass the ball better than their opponents. Or, if you like, they force their opponents to pass the ball worse than they do.

Incorrect. Washington won because it did not kill itself in the passing game like Dallas did. Or, if you prefer, Washington won because its defense destroyed Dallas' passing game while Dallas was unable to similarly impact Washington's. As I've already explained in this thread, Dallas wins that game if you change nothing else except the turnovers, which would have given Dallas a better passing attack on the day than Washington. That would be even with Washington's overwhelming edge in the running game.
