Redskins win NFC East

The Washington Redskins secured their place in the NFL playoffs with a 28-18 win over the Dallas Cowboys to clinch the NFC East division.

The Cowboys defense struggled to contain the Redskins' running game, allowing four rushing touchdowns.

Rookie running back Alfred Morris ran for 200 yards and found the end zone three times, while Robert Griffin III also added to the score with a rushing touchdown.

Tony Romo completed passes to Jason Witten and Kevin Ogletree for touchdowns, but it was not enough to prevent Washington from taking the division.

The Redskins face a home game against the Seattle Seahawks next weekend.
