The dust has settled, and we’ve now had some time to sleep on this latest win from the Washington Football Team — possibly the biggest win they’ve had in years. By beating the Dallas Cowboys, 41-16, on Thanksgiving, on the road, Washington is now the proud owner of its first winning streak of the 2020 season, and they also hold onto the No. 1 spot in the NFC East for the time being.
A lot of things went right on Thursday, and things seemed to finally click into gear for the young team down the stretch. As Ron Rivera would say after the game, they seemed to finally understand how to win a football game; not just hang on until the end, but put it away and drive the point home. With 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, it’s clear that they were trying to send a message.
Received, loud and clear. Here are our biggest takeaways from the game.
