Cowboys show faith in young receiver by going back to him after earlier

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dez Bryant's issues have been discussed and debated as much as any second-year wide receiver in NFL history.
His ability to catch the football never comes up in those conversations.
That's what made the Dallas Cowboys' final two offensive snaps in the first half Sunday so stunning. Tony Romo put a pair of passes between the 8s on Bryant's jersey. Bryant should have ended up celebrating in the end zone on both plays, but the ball clanked off his shoulder pads on a slant and clunked off his hands on a fade, forcing the Cowboys to settle for a field goal.
The Cowboys went back to Dez Bryant in the second half after a couple of uncharacteristic drops earlier in the red zone.
"Oh, man, I was pissed because it should have been a touchdown," Bryant said. "And I put it all on me because I had two opportunities and I let them go to waste."
