The Dallas Cowboys were punting this game before it ever began. With quarterback Dak Prescott out for the season, Dallas stars Zack Martin and Trevon Diggs didn’t even make the trip to Washington. Tight end Jake Ferguson and No. 2 receiver Brandin Cooks were also out.
Yet, somehow, the reeling Cowboys dominated the Commanders for much of the game, and no matter how many times Dallas tried to give Washington the advantage, the Commanders had none of it.
Dallas snapped its five-game losing streak, defeating Washington 34-26 in arguably the wildest NFL game of the season. The Commanders blocked a field and a punt yet missed two extra points and a field goal and allowed two kickoff returns for touchdowns.
Washington had a chance to tie it late and sent the game into overtime after quarterback Jayden Daniels’ miracle 86-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Unfortunately, kicker Austin Seibert missed second PAT.
It’s the Commanders’s third straight loss and X — formerly Twitter — was fed up.
Here are some of the top social media reactions after Sunday’s loss.
On Seibert:
I really feel bad for Austin Seibert. He was so amazing in the first half of the season.
To have a game like this was just awful.

The frustration felt among many fans
Horrible loss. No way around it.
Not gonna lie the ending made it slightly more palatable. Showed some fight.
But where was that for the first 3.5 quarters??? Only there defensively. Nothing on offense at all for most of the game.

Grant Paulsen:
Not an exaggeration: I’ve been coming to this stadium for 25 years. Missed fewer games than I can count on one hand.
I have never seen such a bat-shit crazy game.
What even is this, game?

Awful timing, for sure:
Great time to remember that the @commanders decided to raise ticket prices because they beat 7 losing teams.
