Man shot, suffers ‘life-threatening injuries’ in brawl after Cowboys game vs
They won this one with defense, giving up a season-low point total.
Greg Hardy was reinstalled in the lineup after being suspended for four games due to allegations of domestic violence. Tight end Rob Gronkowski caught four balls for 67 yards.
“I didn’t change it, but I’m going to change it in the morning”, he said.
Running Back: It was another game of tough sledding for the Cowboys running backs, as the Patriots regularly played an extra defender in the box, and the big defensive line and linebackers made holes hard to find. Their own 34. While that may not sound like such a huge difference, it includes two possessions where Tom Brady took the first snap already inside Dallas territory.
The Cowboys (2-3) lost their third consecutive game as they continue on without quarterback Tony Romo and receiver Dez Bryant.
Is this really as good as it gets for the Dallas Cowboys offense?
The Bengals are 5-0 for the first time since 1988, the last time they went to the Super Bowl.
The Cowboys stuck with Weeden, who was 26 of 39 for 188 mostly meaningless yards.
Brady, in his 16th season, joined Peyton Manning and Fran Tarkenton as the only National Football League quarterbacks with 4-0 starts at least four times. “On the other hand, we’ve got to have better offense, and usually that does include better, more effective quarterback play”.
Next up for the Patriots will be a trip to Indianapolis to face the 3-2 Colts.
Lt. Chris Cook of the Arlington Police told the Star-Telegram that the two men were tailgaters who had been at the stadium since the afternoon. Brady’s strong play continued as he went 20-27 for 275 yards and two touchdowns. New England opened the second half with two straight 80-yard touchdown drives and added a field goal as well to put the game out of reach. New England: 410. Do the math, and the Patriots had an advantage of 190 yards in the game, or almost a full 14 points based on Parcells’ logic. The Jaguars gave up a 58-yard punt return that led to Martin’s 10-yard TD reception, and rookie Corey Grant lost a third-quarter fumble that defensive end Jacquies Smith returned 3 yards for a score that put Tampa Bay ahead for good.
Brady wasn’t interested in commenting on Hardy’s quote before the game, but on Monday morning in an interview with WEEI, Brady was asked about Hardy again with the Patriots 30-6 victory behind them.
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. It is illegal, but very seldom is it called (although two of the picks by New England were blatant enough to draw flags). Those “hidden yards” were a big part of the struggles for the Cowboys, but the repeated three-and-outs were the main reason for the bad field position.
“We’ve got a resilient group of guys in this room, that last week’s last week”, said Weeden, who turns 32 next week but is making just his 24th career start; the four-time champ Brady completes his second streak of 100 straight regular-season starts for the Patriots.
