The Dallas Cowboys got a huge win during the heart breaking season on Sunday.  Cooper Rush and the Dallas special teams came through in a big way and Dallas took down Washington 34-26.  The win moved Dallas to 4-7 on the year while it dropped Washington to 7-5.

Dallas has an opportunity to win two straight when they take on the New York Giants on Thanksgiving.  However, they may be doing so with even more injuries to overcome.
