Cowboys RB Dunbar lost to knee injury

Dallas coach Jason Garrett said Dunbar’s knee injury appeared serious. Having said that, I can’t wait for Romo to get back. Darren McFadden did nothing to get excited about and the Cowboys made Christine Michael active for the first time all season and used him for only one play – a one-yard loss. “He’s going to come back, he’s going to handle it the right way, he’ll be better than ever”.

Before his season high in rushing, he was leading National Football League running backs in receiving yards and was tied in catches. He was yelled at and then benched. “I think everyone knew what the coverage was and what we wanted to do on that and the key is getting lined up and handling it the right way once the ball is snapped”. His touchdown pass near the end of regulation sent the game to overtime and gave the Cowboys a short lived breathe of life.

“I remember the people that talked crap never had a picture of themselves”, Weeden said. There’s a lot of stuff that comes with it. If you ask a lot of those guys that stepped into those roles, you try and tune it out as much as possible because the situation is already big enough as it is. The Cowboys, meanwhile, will be without Tony Romo (broken collarbone) for at least another five games, and will have to rely instead on Brandon Weeden, who has lost nine straight starts dating back to December 2012 and has more career interceptions (29) than touchdowns (27). “I feel like the last two games in the second half, that’s been what’s really affected us, our ability to do what we really want to do”. “That’s the reason for our approach as a coaching staff. We believe we can get that rectified”. Dallas has 10 negative runs on first down this season. Even with that one win, they still had a poor second half to barely hold on to win that one and that has been the case for every game. The pass rush could use the boost.

Standout linebacker Sean Lee suffered a concussion Sunday night against the Saints. SISCO – Tulane running back Rob Kelley slips a tackle by UCF defensive lineman Luke Adams for a 9-yard gain at Yulman Stadium on Saturday, October 3, 2015.

“Receiver Brice Butler, who came in a trade to add depth after Bryant’s injury, is sidelined by a hamstring problem”.

The young kicker’s struggles the past two weeks cost him his job Monday, a day after the rookie from Notre Dame missed two field-goal attempts and an extra point during a 37-23 loss to NFC South rival Carolina. That doesn’t necessarily mean, however, that Weeden is not an adequate quarterback. He is 0-3 since joining the Cowboys.

The tying touchdown was as clutch as it gets – a 17-yard pass to Terrance Williams on fourth down with less than 2 minutes left.
