Cowboys Hold Off Commanders in Christmas Day Opener

Dallas built an 18-point first-half lead, then survived a Washington rally to win 30-23 on Christmas Day. Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s 72-yard touchdown cut it to 24-17, but Dak Prescott sealed it with a late first down. Dallas ran 85-plus plays, dominated possession, improved to 7-8-1, and dropped the Commanders to 4-12 in the holiday Week 17 matchup opener.
