The Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Commanders 37–20 in an NFC East game, but cornerback Cobie Durant left after teammate Markquese Bell accidentally stepped on him while he was down in the end zone. The incident occurred during the second quarter, and Durant did not return.

Durant joined Dallas on a one-year, $4 million deal after four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, where he recorded 141 tackles and seven interceptions in 61 games. The Cowboys limited Washington to 10 second-half points, while Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow; Dallas also forced the game’s only turnover. The result moved Dallas to 1–1, while Washington fell to 0–2.
