Things have been coming up Cowboys in the 2014 NFL season. The surprising Boys entered Week 8 with the leagues best record at 6-1 and long-time rival Washington looming on Monday Night Football. And the Redskins are expected to start their third different quarterback in just eight games. Watch tonights action unfold live on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4 and TSN5, beginning with NFL Monday Night Countdown at 6pm et/3pm pt. Washington first-year head coach Jay Gruden sort of named Colt McCoy as the teams new starter while Robert Griffin III continues to rehabilitate a dislocated ankle suffered in Week 2 against Jacksonville. Gruden, however, is also paying lip service to a potential RG3 return but thats likely an attempt to game a competitive advantage. Were preparing for Colt to be the starter, Gruden said. But were trying to get Robert some reps, get him ready, but right now it looks like odds are Colt will be the starter, but were trying to work Robert into the lineup and trying to get him reps to get him ready to go. If it is McCoy under center, it will be the University of Texas products first start since Dec. 8, 2011 when he piloted the Cleveland Browns against the Pittsburgh Steelers. I just want to go out there and be who I am -- that is who I am every day in here -- be confident and play the best football I can play, McCoy said. McCoy replaced an ineffective Kirk Cousins at halftime during last Sundays 19-17 win against Tennessee and led the Redskins on a 10-play, 76-yard game- winning drive, culminated by a 22-yard Kai Forbath field goal as time expired. We needed a win bad, said Forbath. Colt stepped in, put me in a great position. I couldnt ask for better field position to kick the game-winner, so hats off to our offense for getting us there. McCoy, who was 6-15 in his career as a starter in Cleveland, finished 11-of-12 for 128 yards and a touchdown to Pierre Garcon in the second half against the Titans as Washington halted a four-game skid. Hes had to learn like all back-up quarterbacks have had to do. But hes very, very smart, Gruden said when discussing McCoy. Hes been in this system before -- a West Coast-type system -- so hes familiar with a lot of the pass concepts. We figured if his number was called, hed be ready to go. Cousins was 10-of-16 for 139 yards with an interception over the first 30 minutes. He has thrown 10 touchdown passes and nine interceptions in six games -- five starts -- as RG3s original replacement. The Cowboys earned their sixth straight victory with a 31-21 home win over the New York Giants in Week 7. DeMarco Murray went over the century mark in rushing yards for the seventh straight week and Tony Romo threw three touchdown passes in the NFC East clash. Murray gained 128 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries, becoming the first running back in NFL history to open the season with seven straight weeks of 100-plus yards in the process. Last week, Murray matched Jim Browns NFL record of six straight weeks with a 115-yard performance in Dallas win in Seattle. I think we did this as a group, so its hard for me to accept this individually, Murray said when addressing his record-breaking streak. The offensive line is a huge part of this -- the tight ends, the receivers, the entire coaching staff. But I definitely give a lot of credit to those guys. But theres a lot of hard work that (still) needs to be done. Its a long season. The surging Cowboys havent lost since a Week 1 setback to San Francisco in which Romo threw three interceptions. The veteran QB has tossed 13 touchdown passes against just three picks since that game, including a 17-for-23 effort with 279 yards and his fifth straight multi-touchdown game against the Giants. Two of his three touchdowns went to tight end Gavin Escobar, who made three catches for 65 yards in the first multi-score game of his career. Dez Bryant led all receivers with nine catches and 151 yards. This game marks the 16th meeting between the Cowboys and Redskins on Monday Night Football, the second-most frequent matchup in the 45-year history of the series (Raiders-Broncos, 17 times). Dallas leads the all-time series with a 64-40-2 advantage and has won five of the past seven meetings, including both matchups in 2013. The Boys are 43-32 on Monday Night Football. while the Skins are under water at 27-36 on the national showcase. Joe Mullen Jersey .
