This week Bill Leavy's crew will work Sunday's game between the Cowboys and Giants from the Meadlowlands. Since 2003, the Cowboys are 4-2 in games refereed by Leavy. The last game he worked was the 31-22 win against Cincinnati on Oct. 5, 2008 in which the crew called 13 penalties for 96 yards.

They worked the Green-Bay Detroit game on Thanksgiving and called 10 penalties for 85 yards. The Packers were flagged seven times for 57 yard and the Lions were called for three penalties and 28 yards.

Here's the breakdown:

Roughing the passer - 1
Illegal block above the waist - 2
False start - 2
Unnecessary roughness - 2
Horse collar - 1
Face mask - 1
Defensive delay of game - 1

Quarter-by-quarter breakdown
First - 2
Second - 6
Third - 1

Yeah, but how many times has the league office had to call them during a game and correct a call?

That's the mark of a good officiating team, whether the big guys have their cell phone on speed dial.
