Cowboys Player Celebrates Fourth Down Stop as Marcus Mariota Runs By for First Down

The Washington Commanders beat the Dallas Cowboys 23-19 in Week 18. The Commanders had to score on three of their final four possessions, including an 11-play, 91-yard drive that culminated in a Terry McLaurin touchdown to take the lead with three seconds left on the clock.

The Cowboys almost stopped the Commanders at midfield, but Mariota took the ball on 4th-and-one at midfield and ran for a game-saving 33 yards to set up that touchdown. Dallas briefly looked like it had the play stuffed, as evidenced by safety Malik Hooker raising his arm in triumph in the middle of the play before quickly realizing that Mariota had the ball and was running by him.
