Making his first start in three years, Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy completed 25 of 30 throws (83.3 percent) for 299 yards and rushed for a touchdown in Monday's overtime win at Dallas. McCoy made one terrible decision, getting picked off on a first-quarter throw to the end zone, but otherwise looked in command.

McCoy opened overtime by hitting Pierre Garcon for 23 yards across the middle. He then found tight end Jordan Reed twice to get Washington in field-goal range. On the second, McCoy scrambled and lofted a touch pass along the sideline for 16 yards.

McCoy underthrew deep threat DeSean Jackson twice on potential touchdowns, but connected with him six times for 136 yards, including 49- and 45-yard gains.

McCoy gave the Redskins a short-lived lead with a 7-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter. He ran seven times for 16 yards.

It's unclear if McCoy will make a second straight start Week 9 at Minnesota, as Robert Griffin III is nearing a return from his ankle injury.
