Houston Keys Stop on Fourth Down as Redskins Top Cowboys
Ken Houston predicted Dallas would try a pass to Walt Garrison on fourth down late and stopped him at the one yard line to preserve a 14-7 Washington win. Sonny Jurgensen led the Redskins with a late TD to Charley Taylor and Brig Owens returned a kickoff for a score after a defensive stand. Staubach was pressured, sacked seven times, and Dallas fell to 3-1 while Washington evened at 3-1.
