QBs trade picks in DC

LANDOVER, Md. - Robert Griffin and Tony Romo have exchanged interceptions in the second half of play between Washington and Dallas on Sunday.

Bruce Carter has two picks off Griffin, both on would-be red zone scoring possessions as the Cowboys hold a 27-10 lead over the Redskins.

Tony Romo ventured a toss off his back foot for Joseph Randle that was pulled down by the Redskins' Jackson Jeffcoat at the Cowboys 25 and returned to the 16.

Though Griffin would return the favor 22 seconds later on a three play drive that went nowhere, his 3rd-and-10 pass attempt tipped by the Cowboys' Orlando Scandrick, off the fingers of Andre Roberts, and into the arms of linebacker Bruce Carter.

Carter picked Griffin late in the end zone near the end of the third quarter to kill an 83 yard drive kicked off by Griffin's 47 yard pass to Pierre Garcon.

Griffin is 16-of-28 for 246 yards for Washington (4-11). DeSean Jackson has 86 yards on 2 receptions, including a 69 yard touchdown that gave the Redskins a brief lead early.

DeMarco Murray broke Emmitt Smith's former Cowboys franchise season-rushing record in the first half. His 32 yard rush in the first quarter broke the mark as the league's best back has 1,822 yards this season on 13 touchdowns, both the best of any runner in football.
