Dallas 37, Atlanta 21
The Cowboys did not exorcise all of their demons in Sunday’s 37-21 win over Atlanta, but the win was a good start. Miles Austin continued to look unstoppable, catching six passes for 171 yards and…
FILE - In this Oct. 4, 2009, file phot, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Keith Brooking(notes) follows the action during an NFL football game against the Denver Broncos at Invesco Field at Mile High in Denver. Whatever reasons the Atlanta Falcons had for giving up on Keith Brooking, the Dallas Cowboys are sure glad they did. Brooking has quickly become the passionate, aggressive, emotional leader of the Dallas defense.
Time is now for Cowboys offense at full strength
Marion Barber(notes) darted outside and scooted past the New York Giants defense before pulling up lame 10 yards shy of the go-ahead touchdown.
The Dallas Cowboys scored anyway, but that 35-yard Marion run a month ago was the last time their offense had all the key parts in the same game. That’s supposed to change Sunday against Atlanta, a playoff contender and the first of five straight NFC opponents.
The Cowboys had their best rushing day in 16 years in that 33-31 loss to the Giants. They’re No. 2 in the NFL at 420 yards per game even though they’ve been without some combination of Barber (thigh, thumb), backup running back Felix Jones(notes) (knee) and receiver Roy Williams (ribs) the past three games.
Dallas Cowboys’ Roy Williams believes he and Romo will click
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams knows the numbers are ugly.
Catching just 30 passes for 412 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games since being traded to Dallas from Detroit for three draft picks while getting a $9 million annual salary has him admittedly frustrated.
He has been subjected to ridicule in what has been so far a disappointing return to Texas for the former Longhorns star.
But Williams will only take so much.
The Dallas Cowboys come off their bye week to take on the Atlanta Falcons at home. This is a must win for Tony Romo and the Cowboys.
Miles Austin is starting but at a new position. His natural position is the same one that Roy is playing. So…..who would you start Roy or Miles?
