Washington needed a full day from kicker Chip Lohmiller to defeat the Cowboys at RFK.

The score was tied 6-6 in the third quarter before the Redskins began to pull away. Two more third quarter field goals made it 12-6. Early in the fourth quarter, Darrell Green intercepted Troy Aikman deep in Dallas territory and scampered into the end zone, making it 19-6. The Cowboys did attempt to rally, driving to an Emmitt Smith TD later in the fourth quarter. They added a late safety to net the bizarre final score.
