Lets Talk Cowboys

On the opening drive, former Cowboy Julius Jones fumbled to give Dallas the ball. It wasn`t bad enough for Jones that every time he touched the ball, he was booed by the  home crowd of Cowboy fans. The fumble was enough to set up Dallas`s first score of the game.

With 12:36 to go in the opening quarter, Tony Romo connected on a 16-yard touchdown pass to tight end Martellus Bennett for a 7-0 score. After Dallas forced the Seahawks to punt, the Cowboys drove right back into Seattle territory. That`s when Marion Barber completed the drive with a 2-yard run for a Cowboy touchdown to put Dallas up 14-0. That would literally be all the Cowboys would need to defeat the Seahawks. Romo finished the day 22-34 for 331 yards passing with 3 touchdowns and 1 pick.

He is really starting to drive this team. He hooked up all day long with his key receivers. Jason Witten finished the day with 9 catches for 115 yards and 1 touchdown. Terrell Owens finished the day with 5 catches good for 98 yards and 1 touchdown. Did I forget to mention how good this Cowboy defense did? They piled up 7 sacks, led by Pro Bowler DeMarcus Ware who had 3 of them. Ware now has a league best 15 for the year. Seattle might not be playoff bound, but Dallas showed them what is was like to play smash-mouth football on this wonderful Thanksgiving day!
