Pick-six in Thanksgiving victory Sweat made two tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown in Thursday's 41-16 win over the Cowboys.
Impact Sweat put the game away for Washington late in the fourth quarter as he managed to get immediate pressure on Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton, tipping a pass up to himself and strolling into the end zone for an easy pick-six. Sweat will look to carry this momentum into a tough Week 13 matchup against the currently undefeated Steelers.

Good to go for Sunday Sweat (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Kyle Stackpole of the Washington Football Team's official site reports.
Impact Sweat practiced without limitations Thursday and appears to have avoided any setbacks, leaving him good to go for this clash of NFC East rivals. The 2019 first-rounder needs two more sacks to match his rookie total of seven.

Trending in right direction Sweat (concussion) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Sweat was forced to leave Week 7's win over Dallas early due to a head injury, and he appears to be trending in the right direction following the bye week. It's unclear if the Mississippi State product has cleared concussion protocol, however, so it's too early to count on him for Sunday's game against the Giants. Ryan Anderson would see an uptick in usage at defensive end if Sweat were unable to suit up in Week 9.
