A thrilling finish to a game of the year like matchup saw the Dallas Cowboys (4-7) break their five-game losing streak by upsetting the Washington Commanders (7-5) 34-26.<\/p>\n

What started as a defensive struggle with a 3-3 halftime score turned into a scoring frenzy, as both teams combined for 54 points in the second half.<\/p>\n

A wild sequence in the closing seconds saw the Commanders, who trailed 27-20, score an 86-yard Terry McLaurin touchdown in the final 30 seconds until a missed extra point left the score hanging 27-26.<\/p>\n

Dallas took control of the game in the second half, largely thanks to quarterback Cooper Rush, who earns Week 12’s player of the game.<\/p>\n

In his third start replacing quarterback Dak Prescott, who was lost for the season due to a hamstring injury back in Week 9, the veteran Rush completed 24 of 32 passes for 247 yards, two touchdowns, 0 interceptions and a 117.6 passer rating.<\/p>\n

With a career record now of 6-3 as a starter, Rush’s performance in the second half helped Dallas end a five-game losing streak and secure the Cowboys’ first win since Week 5.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys face a short week as they return home on Thursday for their annual Thanksgiving game against the New York Giants, who earlier lost 30-7 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.<\/p>\n
