Tashard Choice fumbled on the last play of the first half to give the Redskins a 10-0 lead, just enough to defeat the Cowboys in Game 1 of the 2010 season.
In a decision by Wade Philips that will be second guessed for the rest of this year, Choice became the goat of the game. In reality, with only 4 seconds left and the ball on their own 35 yard line, Dallas should have kneeled on the ball and gone to the locker room trailing only 3-0. The head coach thought otherwise and it cost them a touchdown and probably the game.
The Cowboys were able to keep the game close in the second half however, and almost won on the last play of the game. A holding call against Alex Barron nullified the game winning touchdown pass from Tony Romo to Roy Williams, leaving the Cowboys shocked.
It was a game where they had plenty of chances to take the game over, but mistakes were the downfall for the offense. In order to beat the Bears next week, Dallas will need to be more consistent and find a way to get the ball in the end zone. Maybe easier said than done.
