The Cowboys looked like a determined bunch yesterday as they came out of the locker room swinging to start the game as they built a 17-0 lead at the half and then they cruised to victory in the 2nd half.  Tony Romo had a good game completing 18 of 29 passes for 309 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 INTs while playing with a badly bruised back.  The Cowboys got all of their stable of running backs in on the action yesterday.  Felix Jones led the way for the Cowboys with 68 yards on 7 carries (9.7 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Tashard Choice only carried the ball three times but he still finished up with 67 yards (22.3 ypc) rushing.  Marion Barber also had a good game with 14 carries for 61 yards (4.4 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 41 yards (20.5 avg).  Miles Austin had another great game for the Cowboys yesterday with 7 catches for 145 yards (20.7 avg) with a TD grab.  Jason Witten shook off an injury to pitch in with 5 catches for 107 yards (21.4 avg).  Roy Williams only caught 2 passes for 15 yards (7.5 avg) but one went for a TD.  The Cowboys finished up with 494 total yards in this game (195 rushing, 299 passing) on offense.

LB Keith Brooking led a solid Cowboys’ D yesterday with 9 tackles and 1 QB hit.  But, OLB Anthony Spencer was a monster in this game with 8 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks, 1 pass defensed and 3 QB hits as he was playing like a man possessed.  The Raiders finished up with 305 yards on offense (124 rushing, 181 passing) in this game.  The Cowboys are now 8-3 on the year.
