Missed FG after unusual call helps 'Skins top Cowboys 20-17

HOWARD FENDRICH (AP Pro Football Writer)The Associated Press

No one on the winning Washington Redskins or the losing Dallas Cowboys seemed entirely sure about the rule that led to a penalty for ''snap infraction.'' That flag turned a 47-yard field-goal try into a 52-yarder that slammed off the left upright as time expired. ''I don't know what happened there,'' said Redskins coach Jay Gruden, after his club avoided overtime and edged the Cowboys 20-17 Sunday to remain alone atop the NFC East when Dallas' Brett Maher missed the potential tying kick. The call, in a nutshell: A Redskins lineman moved early, but the flag went against Cowboys long snapper L.P. Ladoceur, because he moved the football illegally.
