Dallas Cowboys 45, New York Giants 35
The Cowboys just had too much firepower for the Giants to keep up with. QB Tony Romo led the way for the Cowboys as he completed 15 of 24 passes for 345 yards with 4 TD passes and 1 interception. He also ran the ball 3 times for 11 yards (3.7 ypc) and scored his first career rushing TD. Julius Jones and Marion Barber split the carries last night and they both ran pretty well. Barber carried the ball 11 times for 65 yards (5.9 ypc) with a TD and he also caught 1 pass for 29 yards. Julius Jones ran the ball 16 times for 66 yards (4.1 ypc) and he also caught 1 pass for 11 yards. TE Jason Witten led all receivers with the Cowboys last night with 6 catches for 116 yards (19.3 avg) with 1 TD catch. Terrell Owens caught 3 passes for 87 yards (29.0 avg) with 2 TD grabs. Patrick Crayton (3 rec, 51 yards) and Sam Hurd (1 rec, 51 yards, TD) both really helped out in the passing game. The Cowboys finished up with 142 yards rushing on 30 carries (4.7 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 24 passes for 336 yards.
As good as the Cowboys offense was the defense almost cost them this game. The Giants rushed for 124 yards on 22 carries (5.6 ypc) and they also completed 29 of 44 passes for 314 yards.
