[maxdallasfan]

"Cowboys roll again on Murray's Legs....Too bad he'll be playing elsewhere next year"

 

[Red Dragon]

"HOUSTON HAS A PROBLEM"

Houston fans must hear/read this headline all the time.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

Cowboys whip step child Texans...

 

[Red Dragon]

Perhaps most bizarre among all such oddities was the one that the article fails to mention: Bailey's four misses on the extra point attempts.

Yes, I addressed that in post #7.

Cowboys Still the Kings of Texas


October 5, 2014

ARLINGTON, Texas - It's become an axiom among some frustrated sports fans that when your team begins to excel at something, it will promptly abandon it. Sunday's game was a case in point as the Dallas Cowboys, owners of the No. 1-ranked rushing offense in the entire league, moved away from their powerful running game and tried to air out the ball instead in a 36-24 victory over their in-state rivals, the Houston Texans.

Tony Romo threw the ball early and often to the tune of 322 yards and four touchdown passes. DeMarco Murray, the NFC Offensive Player of the Month, was curiously given the ball only eleven times, although he still gained 69 yards and the Cowboys mowed down the Texans' defense for over a hundred rushing yards anyway.

Dan Bailey, uncannily accurate in making twenty-nine consecutive field goals entering this game (a Cowboys franchise record,) extended that streak to 33 on the day by making four field goals, including three crucial kicks within the game's final six minutes to extend a shaky 27-24 Dallas lead to 36-24 and put the game out of reach. He is now within nine of tying the NFL's all-time record for most consecutive field goals made, set by Mike Vanderjagt with 42.

The Texans' feared pass rusher, J.J. Watt, lived up to pregame expectations with two sacks and a forced fumble as Houston's defense shook up the Cowboys' recently-outstanding offensive line by sacking Romo four times. Such a pass rush did little to dampen the game's offensive fireworks, however, as the two teams combined for 855 yards of offense and 48 first downs anyway.

The game featured a number of bizarre oddities, including a blocked punt, a pass that was tipped and deflected five times by three different players before being intercepted, a 59-yard field goal by a kicker, and five failed attempts to convert fourth downs. Romo was intercepted once and fumbled twice, but the Dallas defense managed to prevent the Texans' offense from converting any of the turnovers into points.

The Cowboys and Texans have played each other in the regular season only four times but have already done so at three separate venues. Eight years ago, the Cowboys defeated Houston at aging Texas Stadium. Four years ago, Dallas prevailed again at Reliant Stadium, and this latest meeting in 2014 took place here at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys, of course, were run out of town 19-10 by Houston in the Texans' inaugural franchise game twelve years ago, an embarrassing outcome which Texans fans have never stopped reminding Cowboys fans of.

The Cowboys now head to Seattle to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks, while the Texans will host the Colts in a division rivalry game.

Man, you actually write pretty good. If I didn't know it was all made up, I would have took if for a legit summary.............................excellent work

Murrary, rejuvenated Cowboys D too much for Fitzpatrick and the Texans.

Four Sure!

The Dallas Cowboys improve their record to 4-1, winning their fourth straight, after beating the Texans 27-13. Dallas was led by another outstanding rushing performance by DeMarco Murray, who carried the ball 24 times, amassing 145 yards, and scoring two touchdowns. As a team, Dallas ran for 198 yards. It was yet another balanced offensive attack this week, as Romo converted 21 of 29 passes, for 240 yards, one touchdown, and zero turnovers. Dan Bailey extended his consecutive field goal streak to 31, converting from 46 and 43 yards respectively. The Dallas defense had another strong outing, giving up only 13 points, one touchdown, sacking Fitzpatrick four times, and forcing three turnovers (two interceptions and one fumble). The only real bright spot for the Texans was he play of All-Pro JJ Watt, who had one sack, one batted pass, three tackles for loss, and 6 overall tackles. Next up for the Cowboys is a trip to Seattle to face the Super Bowl Champion Seahawks.
