From ESPN.com:
Cowboys win 'ugly'
Some may call it "winning ugly," but Cowboys coach Bill Parcells will take a win any way he can get it as Dallas went on the road and stole a game from the Jags. Scoring was at a premium on both sides, as Dallas QB Drew Bledsoe managed only 136 yards passing and Jacksonville signal-caller Byron Leftwich was intercepted three times.
The Jaguars almost doubled Dallas' offensive output, gaining close to 400 yards while Dallas barely topped 200, but the Cowboys made the plays when they had to. New Dallas kicker Mike Vaderjagt connected on all four of his field goal attempts, including one 55-yard bomb, and combined with Patrick Crayton's touchdown, the Cowboys had all the scoring they would need. Jacksonville's Josh Scobee missed an easy 35-yard field goal attempt in the fourth that would have cut the margin to three points, and needing a touchdown to win, the Jags were thwarted by Terence Newman's late interception to ice the game.
