Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton was knocked out of the game Sunday when he was hit late by Washington linebacker Jon Bostic.
Former Pine-Richland High product Ben DiNucci emerged as the backup quarterback to replace Dalton.
Dalton, who replaced starter Dak Prescott when he suffered a dislocated ankle and a compound fracture that finished his season on Oct. 11, was scrambling from the pass rush and was late into his slide when Bostic gave him a late head shot.
