The Dallas Cowboys stopped a three-game losing streak with a Week 13 win over the Washington Redskins. Here are three players who excelled in that win.

After three weeks of playing terrible football, the Dallas Cowboys finally put a solid performance together on Thursday Night Football in a big Week 13 win over the Washington Redskins. Despite starting quarterback Dak Prescott suffering a hand injury early in the game, they were able to win convincingly over one of their biggest rivals and move to 6-6 on the season, temporarily saving their hopes at a playoff run.

It was the first win they got in four tries without running back Ezekiel Elliott. The second-year player is serving a six-game suspension for a domestic violence accusation and the offense has looked lost without him.

That was until Thursday night when they finally got things rolling  — although it wasn’t just the offense. Dallas played well in all three phases of the game, with the only real exception being Prescott. Their 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Season completed just 50 percent of his passes for 102 yards. He was effective on third-downs however in the second half and had two touchdowns in the game with no turnovers.

It was a relief for fans to see them shine and win 38-14 despite the star quarterbacks issues, and here we will look at three guys mainly responsible for the big victory.
