Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer Michael Irvin joined the G-Bag Nation on 105.3 The Fan (KRLD) on Monday.
He had only one reception for six yards in the first half. The kind of pressure he got on Tom Brady.
Cassel, on the other hand, did well for Minnesota previous year against the blitz (104.8 passer rating) and elevated the play of wide receiver Dwayne Bowe in 2010, when the two totaled 1,162 yards and 15 touchdowns in Kansas City.
“There were a lot of adjustments today”, Brady said. The Patriots beat the Colts in last seasons AFC Championship game. The Dallas running game was nearly mostly ineffective until it was too late.
“In our minds, as bad as it looked and as good as Seattle is, we never stopped playing”, Eifert said.
McClain, in the first game of his second season with Dallas following a violation of the league’s substance-abuse policy, had the first sack.
“There were still a lot of people who were tailgating after the game”, he said.
A large part of the unenviable task of guarding tight end Rob Gronkowski fell to Cowboys rookie Byron Jones. Dion Lewis had a 10-yard scoring catch to finish that drive.
His 59-yard scoring pass to Edelman put New England up 27-6 early in the fourth.
Falcons cornerback Robert Alford returned an interception 59 yards for the winning touchdown.

“They made good adjustments [in the second half]”, Jones said. There’s nothing magic about halftime. I did see us be competitive for at least a half. His previous long was 54…. He sacked Weeden before the injury.
