The Dallas Cowboys improved their standing in the NFC East with a 44-22 win over last year’s NFC runners-up, the Washington Commanders. The game included field goals of 47, 29, and 61 yards from star kicker Brandon Aubrey. The Cowboys’ victory moved coach Brian Schottenheimer’s team to 3-3-1 on the season, ahead of the Commanders and Giants and behind Nick Sirianni’s 5-2 Philadelphia Eagles in the division. Following the game, Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson found himself marveling at the efficiency and range of Aubrey, who broke a record for most 60-yarders in NFL history.
