LANDOVER, Md. - DeSean Jackson and Dez Bryant traded long touchdown receptions in the first quarter Sunday as the Dallas Cowboys lead the Washington Redskins 10-7.
Jackson hauled in a 69 yard touchdown reception and Bryant responded on the Cowboys' next drive with a 65 yard catch-and-run for pay dirt.
The 3-play drive for Washington capped off the first time in 13 games the Redskins scored on their opening possession.
Bryant responded with his 15th touchdown catch this season after outracing coverage down the far sideline for the lead.
Dallas (11-4), on a three-game win streak, is seeking an 8-0 record on the road this season. Four of the last five teams who finished undefeated on the road played for the Super Bowl.
Tony Romo led the Cowboys' first drive over 55 yards before nearly being intercepted by Keenan Robinson in the red zone. Dan Bailey kicked from 36 yards to take the early lead.
DeMarco Murray has 12 yards rushing and needs 17 to surpass Emmitt Smith's Cowboys record.
Washington defeated Dallas in their last meeting, a 20-17 overtime victory for the Redskins on Oct. 27 with Colt McCoy at quarterback.
