Cowboys Defensive Rookie of the Year favorite Micah Parsons sacked Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke twice and forced a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, helping the Cowboys make good on head coach Mike McCarthy’s "We're going to win this game" guarantee by holding on to beat Washington 27-20 and snap their rival's four-game winning streak.
