Jayden Daniels brought the Commanders back from the dead in Arlington, but the final play of the half has his immediate future very much in doubt.
With three seconds left in the half, and the Commanders at the Dallas 1, Daniels took the snap from under center. He was stepped on by one of his linemen coming out and landed on his elbow. Daniels chunked the ball in hope of a miracle, but he remained on the ground after the play.
It looked like a gruesome injury to his left arm.
Daniels dislocated his left elbow last season.
Fox analyst Tom Brady said upon watching the replay, âÂÂOh, shit. . . . Excuse me. I was not expecting to see that.âÂÂ
The Cowboys led 10-0 and 17-3 before Daniels brought the Commanders back with a 4-yard touchdown throw to Stefon Diggs after rookie kicker Drew Stevensâ 27-yard field goal.
The Cowboys scored on their first three possessions before going three-and-out, and the Commanders ended up outgaining the Cowboys 225 to 171.
Daniels was 11-of-17 for 96 yards and a touchdown, and he ran for 69 yards on seven carries.
Dak Prescott went 15-of-19 for 155 yards and two touchdowns. He threw a 3-yard score to CeeDee Lamb and a 10-yarder to Dalton Schultz. Lamb has six catches for 94 yards.
