In a tightly contested NFL matchup, the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders are tied at 7-7. The Cowboys opened the scoring with a 3-yard touchdown pass from Dak Prescott to Jalen Tolbert, capping an 8-play, 67-yard drive. Prescott completed 6 of 6 passes for 57 yards on the drive. The Commanders answered with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Sam Howell to Brian Robinson on 4th-and-1. The game has featured pivotal moments, such as a blocked 32-yard field goal attempt by the Commanders' Josh Pryor, which was returned 66 yards by Jace Whittaker, ending Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey's perfect streak. Jourdan Lewis of the Cowboys made significant contributions with a forced fumble and recovery, and the Cowboys converted a crucial 4th and 3 with a short pass from Prescott to TE Jake Ferguson. The Commanders' offense has kept the game close with creative plays and early fourth-down conversions.
Brian Robinson bobbled that a bit, but held on for the TD on 4th-and-1 from the 1. Commanders tie it up, 7-7.
Touchdown Commanders! A 1-yard pass from Sam Howell to RB Brian Robinson, who bobbled it and very nearly dropped it before hauling it in. Commanders 7, Cowboys 7

WATCH: Dak Prescott to Jalen Tolbert TD Gives #Cowboys 7-0 Lead vs. #Commanders https://t.co/KCQUj0DE07 via @DallasCowboysFN
Josh Pryor blocked it. Jace Whittaker returned it 66 yards. Brandon Aubrey had started the season -- and his NFL career -- 35 for 35 on field goals. https://t.co/sV7UaixJgJ
Well, except for blocked FG. Oops. https://t.co/c2TwJx6Ftb
Well that's one way for Brandon Aubrey's streak to end.
Brandon Aubrey's streak of perfection is OVER. The Commanders blocked his 32-yard field goal attempt and returned it all the way down the field to the Cowboys 20. HUGE turn of events.
Welp. Aubrey is blocked. It's picked up and returned deep into Dallas territory. #Cowboys come away with no points after Lewis' fumble gives them great field position.
Wanna start fast? 4th-down stop on D. Clever Dak TD pass on O. Forced fumble on D. 4th-down conversion on O. All in the first half-quarter for #Cowboys
Cowboys go for it on 4th and 3 from the Commanders 23 and ... of course they got it. Short pass from Dak Prescott to TE Jake Ferguson.
Dak to Fergilicous. Move the chains.
Wow. First play after the touchdown and Commanders RB Brian Robinson fumbles the ball away. Can we go to a running clock the rest of the way? https://t.co/LuLD2X6ERU
What a ridiculous play by Jourdan Lewis. This game feels like it's over and we're less than 9 minutes into the first quarter.
Jourdan Lewis forced the fumble and recovered the fumble for the Cowboys
Man this two-game playmaking stretch from Jourdan Lewis!
JOURDAN LEWIS IS SOOOO BACK MAYNE
Jourdan Lewis took the ball away and recovered the fumble and we have our first turnover of the day.
FUMBLLLEEEEE #COWBOYS BALLLLLLLL

The Dallas Cowboys strike first: A 3-yard touchdown pass from Dak Prescott to Jalen Tolbert. Prescott was 6 of 6 for 57 yards and a TD on the Opening Drive. Cowboys 7, Commanders 0 Feels like the game is over, to be honest.

DAK. TOLBERT. TUDDY BUDDIESSSSSSSSSS
DAK. TONY. TUDDY BUDDIESSSSSSSSSS
Strong high-point grab from Cowboys RB Tony Pollard on the wheel route out of the backfield, setting up a Jalen Tolbert touchdown. Dallas strikes first vs. Commanders.
Dak play-action boot to Lamb + YAC. Move the chains.
Dak to Cooks. It begins early. Move the chains.
Commanders offense is reaching deep into its bag. Misdirection. Early fourth-down conversion. Drive is still going because of an interception Cowboys CB Stephon Gilmore dropped. https://t.co/PeCuw5hTHS
