LANDOVER, Maryland -- Maybe it should be a new game called "Where's Dez Bryant?"

After being limited to one catch for 8 yards with just five passes thrown his way in the season-opening loss to the New York Giants, there was no doubt there would be a course correction when it came to how much the Dallas Cowboys' top receiver would be involved Sunday against the Washington Redskins.

In the first quarter of the 27-23 win against Washington, Bryant was targeted five times, catching three passes for 41 yards.

He finished the game with seven catches for 102 yards, lining up to the formation’s left side, right side, in the slot and even in the tight slot.

“It’s the same attitude, same mindset, same approach as the first game,” Bryant said. “Didn’t think too high. Didn’t think too low. Just kept my mind level. That’s how I’m going to be through the whole year.”

Bryant had the Redskins on such a string that defensive coordinator Joe Barry was forced to have Josh Norman follow Bryant all over the field in the fourth quarter.

“A guy like that you’ve got to give credit to and pay attention to where he is when he does travel,” Dak Prescott said. “So I noticed that. But I trust my guys. I stress to them all the time that I trust them against anybody. We’ve got great playmakers on this team.”

Norman broke up Prescott’s first throw of the game to Bryant, but on the next play Bryant had an 18-yard reception on an in route. Against the Giants, Bryant’s targets came on mostly vertical plays. Against the Redskins, the Cowboys were able to use play action and run Bryant across the middle of the field on Norman or Bashaud Breeland with success.

“Dez is a guy since he’s come into this league that has gotten a lot of attention in every game he’s played since he’s been around,” Garrett said. “We just try to get him the ball. He’s a playmaking type player. We move around. He plays outside. He plays inside. He runs vertical routes. He runs underneath routes. He’s done a variety of things for us throughout his career and that’s what he’s been such a productive player.

“And [Sunday] was no different.”

Except it was different.

Most of the time Bryant lined up to the left side of the Cowboys’ formation, but five times he was in the slot and twice he lined up in the tight slot. Eleven times in the first half he was on the right side of the formation. One time he went in motion.

“We moved everywhere,” Bryant said. “We moved everywhere and did exactly what we was going to do in practice. We didn’t make it a one-man show or a two-man show between me and Norman. We played our game. They played their game.”

Norman last Thanksgiving, then with the Carolina Panthers, helped contain Bryant to two catches for 26 yards in a Cowboys loss. Bryant was coming back from a broken right foot and playing with an injured knee then.

He is now healthy.

This was Bryant’s first 100-yard game in his last 11 games and 16th of his career. About the only thing he didn’t do was score a touchdown with Prescott’s two fade attempts too high and wide.

But he was a difference maker.

“Norman’s a great player,” Bryant said. “When you go against a guy like that you’ve got to be on top of your game.”
