After a rare interception by quarterback Dak Precott against Washington , Taylor Heinicke returned the favor with an interception to defensive line Randy Gregory. This is his first start in a while.
Prescott responded to his turnover by starting a drive in the opposing territory, marching down field, and finding wide receiver Amari cooper for seven yard touchdown.

Cooper was out of two November games and only took a few snaps in New Orleans, but he is back to his best against the Washington team that he has a good record against. Dallas converted a 2-point conversion following the score thanks running back Ezekiel Elliot and the Cowboys have a 11-0 lead on their road trip.
