Miles Austin is playing out of his mind for the Dallas Cowboys
Going into this season, the Dallas Cowboys had no idea how big of a weapon wide-receiver Miles Austin was. Austin has now been in the league four years, but was used mostly on special teams and as a back-up receiver. Austin had zero career starts and 18 career receptions heading into this season. He made his first start against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he racked up a team-record 250 yards receiving on 10 catches and had two touchdowns.
In his second career start on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, Austin caught six passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns. That means in two career starts, Austin has 421 yards on 16 catches and four touchdowns. In six games this year, Austin has 21 catches for 502 yards (23.9 avg) and five touchdowns. Ten of those catches have been for 20 yards or more. What is even more impressive is that this guy was undrafted out of Monmouth College and seemingly came out of nowhere.

Austin has been amazing. It’s too bad that it took so long for the Cowboys to find out what they had in him. If I were Roy Williams I would be shaking in my shoes right about now.
