Even without Romo, the Cowboys will give the Redskins their best effort as is always the case in this rivalry. This is a chance for the Cowboys to somehow remain alive in an bad NFC East Division, and perhaps their last chance. With that comes an opportunity for Matt Cassel to change the court of public opinion.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will instead square off against Bronco backup Brock Osweiler. We just need more information. “Each week I’ve felt more and more comfortable”.
Then came Thanksgiving and everything came crashing back down to Earth, and reality set in. You can go back and critique yourself over the last few weeks, and at the same time, get ready to go and step in. “It’s a Monday night game”.
-Wide receiver Dez Bryant has produced only one 100-yard game in the six games he has played this season.
The Dallas Cowboys just have to distribute the ball to its key players and they should be fine and for their run game, Darren McFadden should prove to do well. Cassel went 0-4 in his first stint replacing Romo, but is getting more comfortable in Scott Linehan’s offense. Cousins hasn’t been flashy by any means, but he has led Washington to wins in three out of their last five games while throwing for 10 touchdowns and just two interceptions over that span. This includes two performances of at least 300 passing yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. With him out for the year the season is now a complete loss.
“I will emphasize I don’t pretend to know how many years (Romo has) left”, Jones said. “Because when you’re watching it on film, you’re just watching a cut-up reel or something like that”. To get right, I gotta be practicing and be out in games to get back to the level I want to be at.
Now who knows if that is an accurate statement or not, but Cassel is hoping to rewrite his narrative over the next five games. He’s also had recent ankle and knee injuries that have slowed him. The Cowboys utilize the same Cover-2 shell shown by the Bucs and Giants, and with speedy WR DeSean Jackson’s legs under him again, this is no longer a popgun attack.
Washington has 16 names on its Week 13 Monday night injury report. How much fight does this team have after losing their leader for a second time this season? His season-best game came against the Eagles on November 8 when he caught five passes for 104 yards and a touchdown.
Robinson re-injured his hamstring during Thursday’s practice in preparation for Washington’s game with the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, according to a story by Master Tesfatsion in the Washington Post.
If they are able to do that, they will be able to retain their lead atop the division and improve their division record to 3-1.

“We’d love to have the balance of the running game because that does take the pressure off of the quarterback”, Gruden said, “but sometimes, a team takes away the run and forces us to throw – or sometimes, it’s score-dependent”. Unfortunately, one man can not do it by himself as he’s had everything from defensive collapses to costly penalties and poor officiating.
