Dallas moves to 6-4 with the win, while the Redskins fall to 3-7.

The 26-yard gain brought the ball to the Redskins' 23-yard line and put the Cowboys in position for the game-winner.

The Redskins received the ball at the start of overtime, and Rex Grossman moved the ball into Cowboys' territory. One negative play was an offensive pass interference call on Logan Paulsen. However, the Redskins quickly made that up with a 15-yard pass to Paulsen, a penalty and another pass to Paulsen. Grossman then found Jabar Gaffney for 12 yards down to the Cowboys' 36-yard line.
