Despite catching a touchdown pass (28 yards) for the third consecutive game, Jackson was left to explain his punt-return miscue that led to the Dallas touchdown late in the game.

The Redskins’ remaining schedule: at Bears, Bills, at Eagles, and at Cowboys.
A Cowboys fan took video of fans fighting on the concourse of the Skins’ stadium in Landover after Dallas beat Washington Monday night. Seeing as how the Cowboys had a hard time getting into the red zone or let alone scoring a touchdown in this game, that missed field goal was crucial at the time and as the game moved along.
He was upset that the football wasn’t being thrown his way.
With nine seconds left in regulation, Cowboys place kicker, Dan Bailey, split the uprights on a 54 yard field goal to give Dallas the win and snap the Redskins home winning streak at five games.
“I was frustrated”, Bryant said of his first-half tantrum. The wide receiver had three catches off seven targets in the game with most of those coming in the fourth quarter.
The 4-8 Cowboys, still placed last in the woeful NFC East, won for the first time this season without veteran Tony Romo as quarterback.
Following a weekend when little went as predicted, the Cowboys (4-8) now find themselves one-game behind the 5-7 Redskins, New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles. We’re going to get another chance, so we have to go make the most of it. I’ll tell you one thing: “I know we want to win this division”. I’d like to see us get on the north side of some turnovers one time. Last night during a match up between Romo’s team and the Washington Redskins, a technical issue sidelined the Surface Pro 3 tablets that Microsoft supplies to each team. “We didn’t have tablets, and we didn’t have pictures”.
“Our guys don’t blink”, Dallas coach Jason Garrett said. “It’s a challenge (to be without that technology)”.
Whichever team wins the division will host a playoff game. “And we have not been”. DeSean Jackson fumbled a punt return and it was another close call.
Dallas punter Chris Jones was the unlikely figure to recover the ball and Darren McFadden ran in for a touchdown two plays later. Then Dez had two more clutch catches in the final 35 seconds, setting up Dallas’ best player. Jackson said he heard some encouraging words from Gruden afterward. But last night it felt as though the law of averages caught up with him as he lost two fumbles both on the Cowboys’ end of the field. “I was happy to get it”, Witten said. After the first 58:15 of game play had yielded 18 total points, the next 30 seconds yielded 14. The first quarter-plus was particularly ugly.

Though the amateur cameraman indicates a stabbing, and the video evidence suggests as much, Fox5 in Washington reports that “the Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department says they did not respond to a stabbing at any point during Monday’s game at Fed Ex Field”.
