Redskins Sweep Cowboys
The Redskins completed the double over the Cowboys on Sunday with Mark Brunell passing for four touchdowns as they crushed the Cowboys 35-7.
It was the biggest margin of victory for Washington against their rivals and it was the first time that they had swept Dallas since 1995.
The Cowboys had dominated the rivalry going back a long way, winning 14 of 15 meetings before the Redskins rallied for a memorable 14-13 victory against Dallas in September. Brunell hit with scoring passes of 39 and 70 yards in the last four minutes of the game.
This time around, the Redskins clearly proved they were the better team, dominating both sides of the line of scrimmage. Drew Bledsoe was sacked seven times and committed four turnovers. In contrast Brunell was not sacked once.
Washington are now in a second-place tie with Dallas, two games behind the New York Giants. The Redskins host the Giants next week and still alive in the division race as well as a wild-card place.
