The Dallas Cowboys have secured the 2023 NFC East title and the Two Seed
with a commanding victory over the Washington Commanders.
Despite an early setback where Washington blocked a kick and returned it for
a touchdown, the Cowboys rallied with two touchdowns before halftime, leading 21-10.

In the second half, the Cowboys’ defense demonstrated dominance with a blocked punt,
numerous sacks, and interceptions, including DaRon Bland’s 9th interception of the season.
Bland, leading in interceptions, showcased his prowess by returning 5 of them for touchdowns.
While acknowledging Washington’s performance, it’s recognized that the
upcoming playoff opponents might pose a greater challenge. Micah Parsons,
finishing the season with 14 sacks, remains a standout, embodying the heart and soul of the Cowboys’ defense.

Heading into the playoffs, Dak Prescott’s exceptional performance,
with 4 touchdowns and minimal incompletions, underscores his MVP-like season.
The Cowboys will face Green Bay in the Wild Card Round after the
Los Angeles Rams secured the 6th seed. Despite the Packers’ resurgence in recent games,
Dallas is cautioned to approach this matchup expecting a tough and formidable opponent.
