TMQ (ESPN):
Dallas got a terrible game from its offensive line. On one fourth-quarter Boys snap, aging London Fletcher came through unblocked, though Dallas had six to block six. On another fourth-quarter down, Dallas had seven to block seven but guard Nate Livings never made contact with any rusher -- Livings is overweight and slow, Fletcher changed gaps just before the snap and Livings failed to catch up. With Fletcher in his face, Tony Romo threw a ridiculous fading-backward loop pass that was almost intercepted -- later, on the game's decisive snap, also with a rusher in his face, Romo threw a ridiculous fading-backward loop pass that was intercepted. TMQ still doesn't much like the blitz, but it works against a team like the Cowboys that consistently exhibits low football IQ.
Washington's offensive line had a great night. On the Alfred Morris 32-yard touchdown run that put the Skins in command, the action was a toss left with the fullback leading; Morris cut back right; three -- not one, not two, three -- Washington offensive linemen got downfield blocks, springing Morris so clear there was no Dallas player in the frame for the final 10 yards.
