The defense played pretty well until the last two minutes of the game, when they let Tom Brady and his Patriots drive right down the field for the game winning TD.  LB Sean Lee (12 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception), NT Jay Ratliff (9 tackles and 1 QB hit) and OLB DeMarcus Ware (5 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 tackles for a loss and 2 QB hits) led the way for the D in this game.  OLB Anthony Spencer (7 tackles and 2 QB hits), CB Terence Newman (5 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 2 interceptions) and safety Gerald Sensabaugh (4 tackles and 1 fumble recovery) also pitched in for the Cowboys yesterday.  The Patriots finished up with 101 yards rushing on 25 carries (4.0 ypc) and they also completed 27 of 41 passes (65.9%) for 270 yards in this game.  The Cowboys are now 2-3 on the year.

The Dallas Cowboys were up 27-3 in the third quarter and that is when the roof caved in on them.  Tony Romo threw two pick sixes in the 3rd quarter as LB Bobby Carpenter (34 yard return) and CB Chris Houston (56 yard return) of the Lions made him pay for those horrible passes!  The Lions then dropped 17 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to finish off the Cowboys in this game!  Tony Romo completed 34 of 47 passes for 331 yards with 3 TD passes and 3 INTs.  He was both really good (in the first half) and pathetic (in the second half) in the same game!  Felix Jones led the way on the ground in this game for the Cowboys with 57 yards rushing on 16 carries (3.6 ypc).  He also caught 5 passes for 19 yards (3.8 avg) today.  Tashard Choice pitched in with 39 yards rushing on 6 carries (6.5 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 23 yards (5.8 avg).  WR Laurent Robinson (7 rec, 116 yards), TE Jason Witten (8 rec, 94 yards, TD) and WR Dez Bryant (3 rec, 37 yards and 2 TD grabs) led the way in the passing game for the Cowboys today.  The Cowboys rushed for 112 yards on 27 carries (4.2 ypc) and they also completed 34 of 47 passes (72.3%) for 321 yards as they had possession of the ball for 36:39.

The Dallas Cowboys couldn’t get into the end zone last night, as kicked Dan Bailey nailed six field goals including the eventual game winner with 1:47 last in the game (a 40-yarder).  Tony Romo was a warrior last night in playing with his fractured ribs.  He completed 22 of 36 passes for 255 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  Felix Jones had by far his best game of the year last night with 115 yards rushing on 14 carries (8.2 ypc).  He also caught 3 passes for 40 yards (13.3 avg) last night.  WR Dez Bryant (4 rec, 63 yards), TE Jason Witten (6 rec, 60 yards), WR Laurent Robinson (3 rec, 49 yards) and WR Kevin Ogletree (3 rec, 19 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Cowboys last night.  The Cowboys rushed for 125 yards on 26 carries (4.8 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 36 passes (61.1%) for 250 yards as they had possession of the ball for 31:36 last night.

The defense was very solid for the Cowboys last night.  LB Sean Lee continued to excel last night as he led the way for the Cowboys with 8 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 2 passes defensed, 1 fumble recovery and 1 interception.  His fumble recovery led to the Cowboys’ winning field goal late in the 4th quarter and it was forced by fellow linebacker Anthony Spencer.  Safeties Gerald Sensabaugh and Abram Elam each pitched in with 7 tackles apiece in this game.  The Redskins finished up with 65 yards rushing on 22 carries (3.0 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 37 passes (59.5%) for 233 yards.  The Cowboys are now 2-1 on the year.

The Dallas Cowboys had to fight to win this game out west yesterday.  Kicker Dan Bailey connected on a 48-yard field goal on the last play of regulation to send this game into O.T.  The Cowboys lost the coin toss but played outstanding defense to get the ball back.  Tony Romo (with a fractured rib) led his team down the field to set up the game winning 19-yard field goal from Dan Bailey!  Romo was a warrior yesterday as he completed 20 of 33 passes for 345 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He left the game for a while before coming back into the game.  Jon Kitna completed 6 of 10 passes for 87 yards with 1 TD pass and 2 INTs while he was in the game.  Felix Jones led the way for the Cowboys on the ground in this game with 25 yards rushing on 9 carries (2.8 ypc).  Rookie DeMarco Murray pitched in with 21 yards rushing on 6 carries (3.5 ypc).  Tashard Choice carried the ball 5 times for -5 yards (-1.0 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 24 yards (12.0 avg) in this game.  WR Miles Austin was incredible in this game for the Cowboys as he caught 9 passes for 143 yards (15.9 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  TE Jason Witten (7 rec, 102 yards), WR Jesse Holley (3 rec, 96 yards) and WR Kevin Ogletree (2 rec, 50 yards) also had solid games for the Cowboys yesterday.  The Cowboys finished up with 45 yards rushing on 22 carries (2.0 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 43 passes (60.5%) for 427 yards as they had possession of the ball for 32:10.

The Cowboys were up 24-10 in this game with only 14:50 left in the game, and that’s when Tony Romo and the special teams imploded.  The Jets blocked a punt that they returned 41 yards for a TD, and that hurt.  But, Tony Romo cost the Cowboys this game.  He fumbled on the Jets’ 1-yard line in the 4th quarter and he threw a pass to a wide open CB Darrelle Revis of the Jets late in the game, which led to the Jets’ game winning 50-yard field goal by ex-Cowboy Nick Folk.  Romo completed 23 of 36 passes for 346 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 9 yards (3.0 ypc) in this game.  Felix Jones had to fight for every yard he got yesterday.  He carried the ball 17 times for 44 yards (2.6 ypc) with 1 TD grab.  He also caught 3 passes for 26 yards (8.7 avg) but he lost a fumble.  TE Jason Witten (6 rec, 110 yards), WR Miles Austin (5 rec, 90 yards, TD) and WR Dez Bryant (3 rec, 71 yards, TD) led the way in the Cowboys’ passing game.  The Cowboys finished up with 64 yards rushing on 26 carries (2.5 ypc) and they also completed 23 of 36 passes (63.9%) for 330 yards as they had possession of the ball for 33:51.

The defense was solid against the running game but they had issues defending the pass last night.  LB Sean Lee led the way for the Cowboys on D last night with 11 tackles, 1 pass defensed and a interception that he returned 37 yards.  OLB DeMarcus Ware (4 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks and 3 QB hits) and OLB Anthony Spencer (3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for a loss and 2 QB hits) also had solid games for the Cowboys.  Safety Danny McCray pitched in with 1 tackle, 1 sack, 1 QB hit and 1 fumble recovery.  The Jets finished up with 45 yards on 16 carries (2.8 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 44 passes (59.1%) for 315 yards in this game.  The Cowboys start the 2011 season with a 0-1 record.
