ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Kai Forbath kicked a 44-yard field goal, and the Washington Redskins led the Dallas Cowboys 3-0 after the first quarter Monday night.
Dallas entered with a 6-1 record and six consecutive victories. The Cowboys haven’t won seven in a row since 2007.
The lone score in the first quarter was set up by Andre Roberts’ 37-yard punt return just past midfield, where he was tackled by punter Chris Jones.
Colt McCoy, a Texas native making his first start for the Redskins, completed a 20-yard pass on Washington’s second offensive play to the Cowboys 25. But the drive stalled and the Redskins had to settle for Forbath’s field goal.
McCoy took over for an ineffective Kirk Cousins in the second half of Washington’s last game, a 19-17 win over Tennessee that ended a four-game losing streak.
