The crowd was also, according to Shanahan, a big factor in the team’s victory. “The crowd was huge,” Shanahan said. “We know the Cowboys had a tough time with their snap counts and that was definitely because of the fans. They were great.”
The Redskins offense was anemic on this evening, getting just two field goals from placekicker Graham Gano. However, the defense and special teams took up the slack, making numerous plays and managing the only points for the Redskins.
The big play came late in the first half when Cowboys running back Tashard Choice fumbled the football. Redskins defensive back DeAngelo Hall picked the ball up and scampered 32 yards into the end zone to give the team a 10-0 lead at the half.
Along with the two Gano field goals, the Redskins got a key play in the game from their special teams in the first half when Byron Westbrook downed a Josh Bidwell punt at the Cowboys one-yard line. The Cowboys could not move the ball on the ensuing offensive sequence.
