Washington, 26–20, and the Cowboys falling in Cleveland, 30–21. In week 9 (November 6), St. Louis beat the Giants, 20–17, while Dallas came up short in a 24–23 loss to the Eagles. The next week, Dallas won at Washington 31–30 on a field goal with 0:15 left, while the Cards fell at Pittsburgh, 30–9, cutting their safety margin to a half-game again.

Both teams won the next week, setting up the stage for their December 4 meeting in Dallas during week 13.
