LANDOVER, Md., Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Tony Romo rallied Dallas with a pair of late touchdowns and Dan Bailey hit an overtime field goal Sunday, handing the Cowboys a 27-24 win over Washington.

Bailey's 37-yarder proved to be decisive after Romo had completed 23-of-37 passes for 292 yards and three scores for Dallas (6-4), which logged its third consecutive win.

Receiver Jason Witten racked up 85 yards and a touchdown while DeMarco Murray added 73 rushing yards on 25 carries for the victors.

The Redskins (3-7) blew a 17-10 lead in the fourth quarter but forced overtime when Rex Grossman tossed a 4-yard TD in the final minute of regulation.

He finished with 289 yards and two touchdowns while Jabar Gaffney hauled down seven passes for 115 yards and a touchdown in the loss.
