Newy's Instant Analysis: Cowboys Beat Washington

WHAT IT MEANS
The Cowboys started off the road portion of their schedule at Fed Ex Field against Washington. They win 31-21.

Cowboys are 2-0 in the NFC East.

Dallas has made the playoffs 20 out of 23 times they have started 2-0. In 2015, Dallas started 2-0 and missed the playoffs.

TURNING POINT
I will say on the Cowboys fourth drive when Dak Prescott completed four straight passes that ended with a 51-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith to cap off a 97-yard drive. Dallas would roll off three consecutive scoring drives after that.
