The Washington Commanders and Dallas Cowboys faced off on Sunday, January 5, 2024, in a Week 18 matchup that still has future implications for both teams. The Commanders are looking to solidify their playoff position, while the Cowboys aim to end their season on a high note despite being eliminated from playoff contention.
The Commanders, led by quarterback Jayden Daniels, have been on a roll, winning four games and looking to close the season with #5 against their division rivals. On the other hand, the Cowboys, with Cooper Rush at the helm, have struggled throughout the season and bracketed two of their last four games with losses. I can imagine the season finale hosts hoping to pull off an upset against their playoff-bound guests.
Here's what they're saying...
Game Scenario: Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders Season Finale!
1st QuarterThe Cowboys receive the kickoff and start strong with a methodical drive, ending in a 25-yard touchdown pass from Cooper Rush to Brandin Cooks.
The Commanders answer back with an impressive drive of their own. Jayden Daniels connects with Terry McLaurin for a 40-yard gain, setting up a short rushing touchdown by Brian Robinson Jr.
The Cowboys' next possession is a three-and-out, thanks to a solid defensive stand by the Commanders.
2nd Quarter
On their next drive, the Commanders move downfield with a series of quick passes. Jayden Daniels scrambles for a key first down, but the drive stalls. Zane Gonzalez nails a 45-yard field goal.
The Cowboys respond with a long drive capped by a Rico Dowdle touchdown run.
With two minutes left in the half, the Commanders drive down the field efficiently. Jayden Daniels finds OZ in the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown.
The Cowboys run a two-minute drill but have to settle for a 52-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey as time expires.
3rd Quarter
The Commanders start the second half with a strong drive. A mix of runs and short passes lead them into the red zone, but they're stopped short of the end zone. Gonzalez kicks a 32-yard field goal.
The Cowboys' next drive is promising, but an interception by Commanders' safety Jeremy Chinn halts their progress.
4th Quarter
The Commanders capitalize on the turnover with a long drive ending in a touchdown pass from Jayden Daniels to Zach Ertz.
The Cowboys respond quickly, with Rush leading a no-huddle offense down the field. He throws a 30-yard touchdown pass to Kavontae Turpin.
The Commander finish this game with yet another signature time-consuming drive noted by Daniel's ability to convert third downs and ending with his third touchdown pass of the game and second to Terry McLaurin on the day. With time running out and needing two scores to tie, the Cowboys get the ball back for a final drive. They move into field goal range, but the kick by Brandon Aubrey goes wide right.
