Redskins outshoot the Cowboys
After falling behind 21-10 late in the 3rd quarter, the Washington Redskins went on the warpath in the 4th behind QB Gus Frerotte and the Redskins outgunned the Dallas Cowboys, 24-21, at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium on Monday Night Football.
The Cowboys proved their championship moxie when they scored two TDs in the 3rd Quarter. Troy Aikman hit David LeFleur in the back of the end zone for a 19-yd TD. Then Sherman Williams plunged in on a 3-yd scoring run.
The Boys seemed to have all the momentum until Frerotte started to move the Skins. He hit Larry Bowie for a 34-yd TD pass and then moved the Skins inside the Dallas 5-yd line on a big third down conversion to Leslie Shepherd. Then Terry Allen capped off the comeback with a 4-yd TD run.
Aikman had one more opportunity to move the Boys into position of a field goal to tie the score, but his pass was batted in the air and Darryl Pounds outrebounded a few players to seal the win with a big interception.
The Redskins now take control of the NFC East with a 4-2 record, while the Cowboys have dropped two straight games to even up at 3-3. The Redskins travel to Tennessee next week, while the Cowboys hope to get back on the horse as they host Jacksonville next week.
