Cowboys vs. Commanders recap: Social media reaction to the win and NFC East championship
It’s the final week of the regular season, it’s a division rival, it’s about the number two seed in the playoffs and the NFC East crown. The Dallas Cowboys obliterated the Washington Commanders in their Week 18 game. Let’s follow the social media reaction.
The Cowboys offensive line looked different again for the final regular-season game. Both Tyler Smith and Zack Martin missed this week’s contest.

The Washington Commanders went for it on fourth down with nothing to lose.
Commanders have nothing to lose. Watch for YOLO plays all night long. They gotta be ready for anything. #DallasCowboys

Cowboys strike first and score the games first touchdown, making it look simple.
Jalen Tolbert gets his second TD of the season after a beautiful pass by Dak Prescott and a nice play call by Mike McCarthy. Tolbert’s second year jump continues to impress.
Cowboys are up 7-0 with over 6 mins left in the first quarter.

Jourdan Lewis has been on fire the last few weeks. This week is no different.
Brandon Aubrey gets his first miss of the season off a blocked attempt.
Seeing Aubrey’s perfect streak go away like that hurts the soul.

The return on the field goal block didn’t hurt as much as seeing Brandon Aubrey not stay perfect on the season. Feel for the guy when that wasn’t his fault #DallasCowboys

The Commanders scored off the ensuing drive, then forced an interception on the next Cowboys drive with some poor offensive line play.
Weird things happen in Washington.

The Commanders play hard and want to go out swinging.
Commanders have now had and converted on four separate 4th-and-short situations.

CeeDee Lamb stretches on the next score
Such a huge score off the turnover before the half.
After suffering a couple of setbacks, the Cowboys will get the opportunity to go up by three scores to open up the second half.#DallasCowboys

Lamb keeps staking a claim as one of the best #88’s in Cowboys history
CeeDee Lamb (@_CeeDeeThree) currently has 5,105 career receiving yards, passing Torry Holt (5,088) for the fourth-most receiving yards in an NFL player’s first four seasons. Lamb only trails Justin Jefferson (5,899), Michael Thomas (5,512) and Randy Moss (5,396).

Dak has a big day

Today marks Dak Prescott’s (@dak) 11th career game with four-plus passing touchdowns, establishing a franchise record.

Good news for this week on Stephon Gilmore who got injured on a third-down play while covering Terry McLaurin.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on CB Stephon Gilmore (shoulder): “He told me he was fine and he’d be ready to go.”

Cowboys win and become NFC East champions.
Dak Prescott has led the Dallas Cowboys to a fourth NFC East title.
He is the first quarterback since Troy Aikman to lead the team to at least four division championships.
