The Dallas Cowboys were at their absolute worst against the Commanders in their 20-17 loss. The Cowboys were outschemed and outmatched for much of the game Monday night.
Tony Romo was injured in the third quarter with an apparent back injury. In his absence, Brandon Weeden looked very good in his absence. He marched the Cowboys down the field for the only touchdown of the second half.
The defense's biggest weakness this season has been its lack of a pass rush. It finally came back to haunt the team against the Commanders. The Cowboys failed to put much pressure on Washington quarterback Colt McCoy, as he made easy throw after easy throw.
Also, the Cowboys had been exceptional on third down coming into this game; against Washington, they went 5-of-12 on third down and was unable to convert on third and fourth down in overtime.
The secondary, particularly the safeties, had its worst outing of the season. Barry Church was not good in run support or coverage throughout the game.
Rolando McClain had his worst game as a Cowboy, as he took bad angles and missed a number of tackles. He didn't look like the same player that he had in prior games.
Now, the Cowboys look forward to a huge matchup against the NFC-leading Arizona Cardinals Sunday.
Let’s take a look at how each position graded out in this Week 8 matchup.
