The Dallas Cowboys have won 3 consecutive games. The Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons, and Seattle Seahawks all lost. Its not a murderer's row of elite teams, but a win is a win is a win. The win against the Chiefs was an ugly one but the last 2 games the Cowboys have looked impressive. Miles Austin has a lot to do with the Cowboys being a very good team again. Miles did not have to carry the team against Seattle, and even though he did not post another 200 yard receiving game, he did catch 2 touchdown passes (5 catches 61 yards) . That is all that matters.
Today was a complete team win. The offensive line allowed 2 sacks on Romo but gave him ample time to throw the ball throughout the game. Another great stat shows the Cowboys only committed 5 penalties that cost them only 43 yards. Keith Brooking, DeMarcus Ware, and Bobby Carpenter had 1 sack each. Seattle QB Matt Hasselback wound up completing 22 of 39 passes for 249 yards and 2 touchdowns and no interceptions but only lead his team on 2 scoring drives. The Cowboys secondary really showed up today.
Cornerbacks Mike Jenkins, Terrence Newman, and Orlando Scandrick covered the Seahawks well and delivered some good hits when the receivers caught the ball. Newman forced a fumble by Atlanta RB Forsett and Scandrick recovered the football for the Cowboys. They also held Atlanta to 79 yards rushing too while Barber. Jones, and Choice combined for 113 yards on 29 carries and 1 touchdown (Barber).
Patrick Crayton ran back a punt return 82 yards for a touchdown. It was his 2nd consecutive punt return for a score in as many weeks. Wide receiver Sam Hurd, 4th on the depth chart, caught a pass from Tony Romo and made a nice run after the catch for a 36 yard touchdown. All in all Romo completed passes to 10 different receivers today. He has not thrown an interception in the past 3 games which is a personal record for him. He did fumble the ball late in the game though. The Cowboys will have to play another complete game on the road next Sunday in Philadelphia if they expect to beat the Eagles. The Cowboys will roll into town with a swagger and must win to get last year's 44-6 loss to the Eagles bad taste out of their mouths.
