9. Terrell Owens isn't talking this week because he doesn't want anyone asking him about the balls he dropped in Dallas' miracle victory over the Buffalo Bills.
T.O. was damn near as bad as Tony Romo in Monday's contest. Seriously, had the Cowboys lost, there would've been two story lines: Romo's five interceptions and T.O.'s three drops, including a two-point conversion pass that would've tied the game.
Owens dropped a key pass in Dallas' game-winning field-goal drive. The Original 81 was awful and doesn't want to spend all week talking about the New 81 (Randy Moss) and the incredible season he's having in New England.
T.O. hatched a great scheme and, of course, the media and his teammates are lapping it up. We — media and men — are often the worst groupies.
8. The Cowboys stole Monday's game partially because the clock was run improperly in the final 20 seconds.
For some reason the clock never ran during Dallas' onside kick. Somehow the refs concluded only two seconds expired on the play. The play easily could've burned four or five seconds had the clock run the way it normally does when there's a scrap for the football.
The refs reset the clock to 13 seconds on T.O.'s dropped pass that was only ruled a drop after a replay review. This might have been appropriate and accurate, but had the refs ruled it an incompletion off the top and whistled the play dead, there could've easily been another second or two come off the clock.
Anyway, Dallas stopped the clock when Patrick Crayton stepped out of bounds with two seconds to play and booted the game-winning field goal.
7. While we're on the subject, let me state the painfully obvious: The Buffalo Bills are horrible.
Do you know how hard it is to lose a home game when you win the turnover battle 6-1, and score two defensive touchdowns and one touchdown on a return? I don't know either. But it's awfully freaking hard.
Dallas' defense ain't that good. It's inexcusable given all the extra possessions that the Buffalo offense could produce just three points.
