Midway through the second quarter, the Washington Commanders took the lead against the Dallas Cowboys with a score of 10-7, after Joey Slye kicked a 35-yard field goal. The opportunity for the field goal arose when the Commanders capitalized on a rare interception of a pass from Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, which was tipped at the line of scrimmage and caught by Commanders rookie DB Quan Martin. Earlier in the game, Brandon Aubrey had his kick blocked, another uncommon event for the Cowboys this season. Despite a strong start by the Cowboys with an 8-play touchdown drive and a fumble recovery, the momentum shifted with the blocked FG, a touchdown drive by the Commanders, and the critical interception, placing the Commanders in the lead.

First, Brandon Aubrey was blocked. Now, Dak Prescott is tipped for an INT. Two things that haven't happened all season have placed Commanders suddenly in control, taking possession midfield with game tied at 7.
Oh boy. Dak Prescott's pass is deflected at the line of scrimmage and Commanders rookie DB Quan Martin picks him off. Washington has the ball near midfield.
