The Redskins followed up their blowout loss to the Raiders with a dismal effort at home against a weak Cowboys team that hadn't yet won a game.
The highlight of the game was a tying FG in the third quarter, which Dallas answered with a drive for a TD that put the low-scoring game out of reach.
This loss put the Redskins on the outside fringe of the developing playoff picture and marked another poor performance against a division opponent.
