Cowboys Beat Commanders on Christmas After Jerry Jones’ Santa Surprise

Dallas remains out of playoff contention, framing the result as offseason momentum.

Overview

  • Jerry Jones dressed as Santa Claus at the team hotel in Washington and handed out gifts, a gesture he said players appreciated in comments reported via The Athletic.
  • Dallas posted a season-high 480 yards of offense and went a perfect 6-for-6 on fourth-down conversions.
  • Dak Prescott connected with KaVontae Turpin for an 86-yard touchdown that helped build an early cushion.
  • A 17-point second quarter staked the Cowboys to a 24-10 halftime lead before they closed out a 30-23 win.
  • Reports noted Jones chose to travel with the team for the holiday road game, a less frequent practice for him.
