Montez Sweat snagged his first professional interception and scored his first touchdown in style on Thursday.
The former Mississippi State standout showed off his vertical leap to turn an Andy Dalton attempted pass into a pick-6. The play can be viewed in the video below form The Checkdown:

The score turned what was already a sure Washington win into an even-wider Thanksgiving blowout over arch-rival Dallas in Jerry World. Sweat’s score made it a 41-16 advantage for Washington late in the fourth quarter. The Football Team held on to defeat the Cowboys by the same score.
The Washington defense tightened up after giving up a 54-yard first-half touchdown to Amari Cooper. From there, it was all downhill for Dallas.
