Walt Coleman's crew will work the Cowboys' game Sunday at Philadelphia. It marks the first Dallas game they have worked since the Cowboys beat Minnesota, 24-14 on Oct. 21, 2007.

Since 2002, the Cowboys are 2-4 in games refereed by Coleman's crew.

Last week, they worked the Denver-Baltimore game and called 14 penalties for 129 yards. Denver was penalized six times for 35 yards and Baltimore was flagged eight times for 94 yards. In Week 6, they worked the New York Jets-Buffalo game and called 27 penalties (22 accepted).

Here's the breakdown from last week:

Unsportsmanlike conduct - 1
Offensive pass interference - 1
False start - 1
Personal foul - 1
Delay of game - 1
Defensive pass interference - 2
Offside - 3
Illegal contact - 1
Neutral zone infraction - 1
Running into the kicker - 1
Holding - 1

Quarter-by-quarter breakdown:

First - 1
Second - 4
Third - 5
Fourth - 4

Interestingly in this crew's last two games the home team has been penalized more - Baltimore had the eight and the Jets had 14.
