ARLINGTON -- The game had barely ended, a 30-27 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Dallas Cowboys had just begun to cut off the tape and wipe away the sweat.

"How many yards did DeSean Jackson have?" cornerback Orlando Scandrick asked. "Was he over 200?"

Jackson had four catches for 210 yards and a touchdown.
"What about LeSean McCoy?" Scandrick followed. "One [hundred and] fifty?"
McCoy had 16 carries for 149 yards.

Scandrick and the Cowboys' defenders didn't care to hear that the stats failed to show how well they had played.

Very good defensive effort for the most part, but a handful of plays killed us.

Glad to see the players are taking this the right way. They are embarrassed and mad at themselves, but at the same time they sound like they KNOW that they CAN do it.

The rematch will be fun to watch!
