    Cowboys' sole TD enough to beat lowly Redskins

    [​IMG] Washington 6, [​IMG] Dallas 7


    Before and after every snap, Tony Romo felt the throbbing in his back, the result of an accidental blow suffered while making a first-quarter tackle, of all things.

    While he could block out the pain during most plays, he couldn't stop it from affecting his throws -- at least, not until the game was on the line.

    Given a break by a missed field goal, Romo scrambled for a first down, then completed seven straight passes, the last a 10-yarder to Patrick Crayton for a touchdown with 2:41 left that gave the Dallas Cowboys a 7-6 victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday and preserved their spot atop the NFC East.

    Washington overcame it all to lead 6-0 on field goals of 45 and 31 yards from Shaun Suisham. He missed a 39-yarder just before halftime, then a 50-yarder that would've made it 9-0 right before what proved to be Dallas' winning drive. Those were Suisham's first two misses of the season.

    Game notes
    Dallas' only other regular-season win with seven points or fewer was in 1970. ... Washington hasn't shut out Dallas in 99 meetings. ... In the final minute of the first half, the Redskins had a sack erased by a replay after a penalty was called on the next play. Replay officials wanted to remove the penalty, but technical difficulties kept them from reaching the zebras on the field. A guy in a blue jacket ran out to get everything straightened out. Given a closer kick, Washington missed anyway.
