EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – As they came off the field together at the New Meadowlands Stadium on Sunday, Jon Kitna gave Dez Bryant a simple but meaningful message.
"I believe in you," Kitna shouted.

Kitna, the vagabond quarterback, is 38 years old, a devoted family man and nearing the end of a workmanlike career in which he has seen ups and downs. Bryant, the dynamic rookie wide receiver, brims with the top-of-the-world confidence that comes with being 22 and immensely talented.

"He trusts me," Bryant said. "Basically, I feel like if he puts it there, I'm going to get it."
