Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper wreaked havoc on the Washington Commanders defense as the resurgent Dallas Cowboys picked up their third straight victory to move into a first-place tie in the NFC East. Here's what we learned from the Cowboys' 31-23 victory on Thanksgiving Day:
1. This game highlighted the big play. Early on, it was the back-and-forth nature of big plays that kept it interesting, with Trey Quinn setting the table for his own touchdown reception with a long punt return. Another long run put Washington in position to add more points when down by multiple scores. And of course, there was Amari Cooper's second-half explosion, first on a 40-yard touchdown reception created by a well-run route, and later on a 91-yard catch in which he made a pair of defenders miss and outran fellow former Alabama star Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to the end zone. It was a pleasant surprise from two teams that haven't really won with the big play for much of the season.
