Brady, Patriots Pull Away from Cowboys

He’s returning from a suspension that involved domestic violence, and when, kind of given the opportunity to be contrite yesterday, instead he came out and said he likes playing the Patriots because Tom Brady’s wife is hot. Brady wasn’t sacked in the second half, but he credited the Cowboys defensive front and its speed. While linebacker Dont’a Hightower left early in the game with a rib injury, the defense was able to pull together and stuff any momentum Dallas might have tried to gain in this one. The Cowboys’ next game is October 25 at the New York Giants. Running back LeGarrette Blount had 74 yards rushing. Meanwhile, the New England Patriots visit the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, October 18th at 8:30 PM ET. Dallas inactives: WR Dez Bryant, DE Randy Gregory, WR Brice Butler, QB Kellen Moore, OL La’el Collins, DE Ryan Russell and TE James Hanna. Hardy’s tackle forced New England to settle for Gostkowski’s 49-yard kick.

WOE IS WEEDEN: The third start in place of Romo was the roughest for Weeden, who has lost 11 straight as a starter going back to his time as a first-round draft pick in Cleveland.

“There were still a lot of people who were tailgating after the game”, he said. “I think that I played well coming into it. Those are their decisions”. That it was a dude best known for kicking the shit of his girlfriend makes it worse. He sat out the first four games after sucker punching quarter back Geno Smith when he was on the Jets. Just ask the Dallas Cowboys.

After reducing yet another vertical gaming with the use of quarterback Brandon Weeden, Dallas Cowboys educate Jason Garrett said he could examine the quarterback put while in the team’s toodles seven days.

Well, we just addressed it immediately. It wasn’t easy early.

NOTES: Cowboys DE Greg Hardy and LB Rolando McLain made their season debuts after completing four-game suspensions.

McClain, who was out for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy, had the first sack. The player and coaches in our organization understand that, and we want to distinguish ourselves with our play, not with what we say. There’s a very clear reason why they’ve won two, count ’em, two playoff games in 20 years, though.

Sure, we can get mired down in a debate about the details of Hardy’s trial, how he was found guilty of throwing his girlfriend on a futon full of assault rifles and choking her, only to have the case dismissed when he appealed and then settled out of court-but you’d be missing the point.

Brady threw a pair of touchdowns in the second half, with a 1-yard scoring plunge in the first half when he was under heavy pressure.

“We made those adjustments from the first series”, New England coach Bill Belichick said. There’s nothing magic about halftime. “I’m really excited to get out there on that grass or turf and see what they can do”.

Brady tossed two touchdowns in the second half as the Patriots improved to 4-0 for the fourth time in his 16-year National Football League career.
