The Patriots defense took care of the rest, keeping Brandon Weeden and the Cowboys out of the end zone and limiting them to 264 total yards.

Dallas (2-3) has at least four more games without Romo (broken left collarbone), and this was the biggest struggle so far for backup Brandon Weeden. Now he might not make it to the end of his temporary assignment filling in for the injured Tony Romo in Dallas. Brooks will not be available when his team plays the New York Giants on Sunday. “The quarterback is one of those positions where you don’t isolate him”. Last July, a judge convicted Greg Hardy of threatening to kill and assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Holder.
“I don’t want to talk about it. I’ll let my play do the talking”, Weeden said via ESPN regarding his job security. “If you just start changing things for the hell of it, everybody starts looking around like, ‘What are these guys doing?’ We have core beliefs”. Injuries to Tony Romo and Dez Bryant aside, Dallas does sport arguably the best offensive line in football and the Patriots met that challenge head on. Romo went down the next week.
Asked by one of the reporters gathered around his locker after Sunday’s game to assess his performance in his first outing of 2015, McClain answered: “Really, it ain’t that important”. The latest 30-6 stomping of the Cowboys seemed eerily reminiscent of his season opener, where he clobbered the Steelers in a similar fashion. He’d hardly even practiced after spending training camp rehabbing from offseason knee surgery and sitting out the first four games of the regular season due to an NFL-imposed suspension. “So you put all those factors together and try to make your best judgment”.
The team will play its next game against the Indianapolis Colts in a rematch of the AFC championship last season.
“He’s certainly comfortable enough to play”, Garrett said.
MISSING THE CENTURY MARK: The Cowboys are still without an individual 100-yard rusher after letting National Football League rushing champion DeMarco Murray go to Philadelphia in free agency. Defensively, they gave us a look that we really hadn’t seen them do before.
Weeden was sacked 3 times today and pressured many more times than that.
TEMPE, Ariz. – Arizona signed veteran defensive end/outside linebacker Dwight Freeney to a one-year contract, a person with knowledge of the situation said Monday.
The Falcons had led 19-16 with 24 seconds remaining in regulation, but Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins completed three straight passes to set up Dustin Hopkins’ 52-yard game-tying field goal.

“You look at what we are asking him to do and how he handles that and then how he executes those plays on a consistent basis”, Garrett said.
