- Jayden Daniels suffered an elbow injury during the Commanders-Cowboys game and was ruled out, per ESPN and CBS Sports coverage of the late-half sequence
- Marcus Mariota entered at quarterback and immediately delivered a 20-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pass after replacing the injured starter
- Dak Prescott threw three touchdowns (CeeDee Lamb 3 yds, Jake Ferguson 10 yds and 12 yds) to power Dallas's offensive output
- Brandon Aubrey connected on a 60-yard field goal along with 25- and 44-yarders, contributing 9 of the Cowboys' 30 points
- Stefon Diggs provided Washington's only offensive touchdowns, catching scoring passes from both Daniels and Mariota
- The live tracker showed Dallas in Washington territory (WSH 24) with a 99.2% win probability late in the fourth quarter
Why it matters: With Daniels ruled out, the live tracker gave Dallas a 99.2% win probability as the Cowboys sat at Washington's 24-yard line in the final minutes. Mariota's late touchdown offered a brief spark, but Prescott's three scoring passes and Aubrey's 60-yard field goal had already built an insurmountable 30-20 cushion for Dallas.
