1) It took a little time, but give Darren McFadden credit for the way that he finished the game. I didn't feel like that his start was all that great and he might have been tentative, but injured groin and all he was exactly what this team needed in that five-minute drive to seal the game. When he had to hit the hole and make the tough yards to gain first downs and work clock, he was up to the task.
2) Is it was nice to see Tony Romo once again back under center. Where this team missed him the most was his ability to control the game with the way he manages it. How he handles the huddle, communicating with center Travis Frederick and working to get his teammates in the best position to have success, that was an area this offense badly missed. Although all of his throws were not as pretty as some games we have seen before, the ones that he was able to get off were clutch.
3) Dez Bryant drew the difficult assignment of having to work against cornerback Brent Grimes. Early in the game, I thought that Grimes frustrated him a bit. It took Bryant some time to figure out how Grimes was going to play him. Bryant’s body language wasn’t the best, but then he was able to get things going and he was back on point. His crossing route on the touchdown was a red-zone play that he and Romo hit in their sleep. Romo knew exactly where he was going to be.
4) Ndamukong Suh was not nearly the factor that I thought he would be. He is going to make a play or two and usually on the move, but I thought guards Zack Martin and La'el Collins more than held their own. The plan of long drives and keeping him on the field appeared to work well for the offense.
