Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones even went as far to praise the incident.

“It didn’t look like us out there”, he said.
For now, Giants fans will be content with a win against Dallas, and a more defined spot in what promises to be a heated NFC East title race. “We all have to work to continue to improve and continue to get better on certain things”. The running game for the Giants was also bottled up, with just 132 yards on 25 carries, which is a more generous number than actually was the case as one carry by Shane Vereen gained 39 of those yards, nearly a third of the total rushing output for the team. “Obviously we’re disappointed. But we’re together”.
“It keeps us in the hunt”. He was showing his passion that we gave up the lead and we needed to fix it. We’re not going to point fingers. Just as it was when the two teams met the first time, things were not always pretty on Sunday, but the Giants came out with a win that they will surely take by a final margin of 27-20.
But the Cowboys feel good about Cassel’s overall performance. He guided Dallas on an 80-yard drive, with a pinpoint pass to Street, whose first career TD came on a tip-toe reception in the right corner of the end zone.
Once Randle went out, Darren McFadden filled the void and had a season-high 152 yards on the ground. Dallas has lost all four games since Romo got hurt (Bryant played only the opener) as the passing offense has slipped. There were opportunities to strip and we haven’t made the plays.
“Matt’s played enough to understand that you can’t do those things and typically turnovers and takeaways are a collective thing, but ultimately when you are a quarterback you have the responsibility”, coach Jason Garrett said. But you gotta love how he competed. I thought he made a lot of great plays, particularly late in the game.
New York is just getting started according to linebacker and defensive captain Jon Beason.
“We’ve got to do a better job catching the ball for Sam, ” Ertz said. I think those guys worked well together throughout the course of the week and you could see it out there today. Sam Bradford is playing awful with nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and it just may be time to give Mark Sanchez a shot at starting. There is a noticeable difference in arm-strength but Weeden seemed much too attached to the short throws and check-downs which rises another question: What do the Cowboys need from their quarterback?
Cole Beasley didn’t record a catch in Sunday’s loss and also had the key punt muff in the closing minutes when he could’ve given the Cowboys a chance, albeit meager, to tie or win the game. Coughlin refused to say whether defensive end Damontre Moore was benched Sunday because of his roughing the passer penalty against the Eagles.

DOLPHINS 44, TEXANS 26: In Miami Gardens, Florida, Miami became the first team since at least 1940 to score four offensive touchdowns of at least 50 yards in a half. Either way, I’m taking the points in what should be a well played game by both sides.
