Washington sets up its defense to cut off big plays in the passing game.
Going into Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, the Commanders have allowed only 19 completions of 20-plus yards. That is tied for the second-lowest total in the NFL, behind undefeated Indianapolis with 16.
In last week's loss to Green Bay, the Cowboys could not come up with big plays in the passing game. Quarterback Tony Romo had only two completions for 20-plus yards. A week earlier, in the win at Philadelphia, Romo had five completions of 20-plus yards.
"You don't see a lot of yards,'' Romo said of Washington's pass defense. "They had a couple of big plays against them last week, but other than that they don't give up big plays. That is a big challenge for us.''
