Redskins 13, Cowboys 7

I don't watch much NFL these days, but I watched most of this one and damn if it wasn't crazy as shit - in particular, those two half-ending plays were absolutely ridiculous:
  • Dallas runs an offensive play with four seconds left in the first half and everyone assumes it's going to be a Hail Mary. But instead, it winds up being a half-assed lateral and Tashard Choice fumbles as he tries to break a meaningless tackle, which is then returned for Washington's only TD of the game (and, eventually, the game-deciding points) with 00:00 on the clock.
  • Dallas has the ball at the Washington 12 with 00:03 left in the game, down 13-7. Romo escapes from the pocket and flips the ball to a wide-open Roy Williams for what appeared to be the game-winning touchdown. But the officials had called a penalty (for a very obvious hold as it turned out) and, rather than losing, the Redskins won as the game ended on the offensive penalty.
Crazy. Congrats BD1 and BD2...

P.S. That call against Calvin Johnson's should-have-been game-winning catch today was atrocious...
