Cowboys Offense Soars, Commanders Struggle in 44-22 Clash
19 Oct
Summary
- Cowboys QB Dak Prescott throws 2 TDs to TE Jake Ferguson
- WR CeeDee Lamb returns from injury, scores 74-yard TD
- Cowboys kicker Aubrey sets NFL record with 5th career 60+ yard FG
On October 16th, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys' offense was on full display as they cruised to a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. Quarterback Dak Prescott led the charge, throwing two touchdown passes to tight end Jake Ferguson.
The real star, however, was wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who returned from injury to score a 74-yard touchdown. Prescott's performance has him on pace for a career-high 39 touchdown passes this season, matching his best start through seven games.
The Cowboys' defense also stepped up, limiting the shorthanded Commanders' offense. Cornerback DaRon Bland even recorded a pick-six, his fifth such touchdown in the last three seasons. With the team's defensive front playing at a high level, the Cowboys are proving they can win on both sides of the ball.
Looking ahead, Dallas will face a true test in the coming weeks, hosting the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles and the Chiefs on Thanksgiving. These matchups will go a long way in determining if the Cowboys are legitimate playoff contenders. One thing is certain: with Prescott's hot streak and the team's improved defense, the Cowboys are a force to be reckoned with in the NFC East.
