The Dallas Cowboys are now 10-1, thanks to two victories last week. On Sunday, the Cowboys edged the Washington Redskins 28-23, on four touchdown passes from Tony Romo to Terrell Owens.
The first pass from Romo to Owens was a four-yard pass, followed by a 31-yard touchdown pass. As if that wasn't enough, Romo threw a 46-yard pass to Owens and followed it up with a 52-yard bomb to Owens for touchdown number four, which gave the Cowboys the 28-23 win over the Redskins.
The win over the Redskins was not one of the easiest for the Cowboys, but in the end the connections between Romo and Owens proved to be too much for the Redskins to overcome.
On Thanksgiving Day, the Cowboys had a much easier time of finishing things as they bombed the New York Jets 34-3.
The Jets team, unlike the other New York team (the Giants), were no match for the Cowboys at all. Dallas got things started in the first quarter as Marion Barber scored on a 7-yard touchdown run to give Dallas a 7-0 lead.
In the second quarter Romo threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten to put Dallas up 14-0.
The Cowboy defense then got into the act as Terrance Newman returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown to put Dallas up 21-0.
The Jets then scored their only points on the day, with a 40-yard field goal by Mike Nugent, which made the score 21-3 Dallas.
During the third quarter, Cowboys kicker Nick Folk scored a 46-yard field goal to give Dallas a 24-3 lead. Folk then added a 27-yard field goal to make the score 27-3 Dallas.
Once again, Romo hooked up with Owens on a 22-yard touchdown pass, to increase the Dallas lead 34-3.
The Cowboys are now 10-1, tied with the Green Bay Packers for the best record in the NFC.
Speaking of Green Bay, the Cowboys host the Packers Thursday night at 7:15 p.m. at Texas Stadium. Brett Favre has an 0-8 record at Texas Stadium and has never played well there. The Packers will be looking to change that by winning in Dallas on Thursday night for the first time in years.
