The Dallas Cowboys followed up one costly win with another Sunday afternoon, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 20-10, but losing quarterback Tony Romo for several weeks due to a fractured left clavicle suffered early in the second half.
Both offenses struggled early in the contest, and neither really established much rhythm as the game wore on. Dallas gained 359 total yards, but consistently shot themselves in the foot, committing 18 penalties on the night.
The Philadelphia offense on the other hand, was stifled all day by the swarming Cowboys defense. Sean Lee led Dallas with 14 total tackles (two for loss) and added two passes defended and an interception. The Eagles were held to a grand total of seven yards rushing, as DeMarco Murray carried 13 times for a total of two yards.
Sam Bradford completed 23 of 37 passes for 224 yards, was sacked once and threw two interceptions in the losing effort, although about 80 of those yards came in the last four minutes of the game, with the Cowboys ahead by 17 points.
The biggest play of the game came courtesy of the Cowboys’ special teams, as Danny McCray blocked a Donnie Jones punt, which Kyle Wilber picked up and ran in from 26 yards out for a touchdown.
