PLAYERS: Patrick Crayton
TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys

Dallas_cowboys_v_5905
Two premiere punt returners will meet on Sunday: Patrick Crayton of the Dallas Cowboys and DeSean Jackson of Philadelphia. They have markedly different styles. Jackson has averaged 15.6 yards with one touchdown for 14 returns. He gets his yardage with speed and elusiveness. Crayton has averaged 16.6 yards with two touchdowns, one in each of the last two games, for 17 returns. Eagles special teams coach Ted Daisher described Crayton as a ``north-south'' returner with no fancy touches. If Crayton finds a seam in the coverage, Daisher said, he can get upfield in a hurry. ``He's an excellent slahser returner,'' Daisher said.

Well-managed: Tony Romo handles Philadelphia

Via Sportsday  |  November 09, 2009
In his five previous starts against Philadelphia, Tony Romo has been anything but consistent. In his two wins, he had passer ratings of 141.7 and 123.2. In his three losses: 45.5, 22.2 and 55.8. It meant, he either he was improvising and making all kinds of plays happen or he was improvising and having all kinds of stuff fail. On Sunday, his rating of 88.7 would statistically...

Cowboys even up turnovers for year

Via Sportsday  |  November 09, 2009

Plenty of game balls to go around

Via Dallas Cowboys And The NFL  |  November 08, 2009
PHILADELPHIA - The first one goes to Cowboys CB Terence Newman, who completely took DeSean Jackson out of the game. Jackson had only two catches for 29 yards after entering the game with four TD receptions of 50-plus yards. In a performance reminiscent of his shut-down job on Carolina's Steve Smith in Week 3, Newman made four tackles and broke up one pass. He did give up an...

Romo's interception string ends

Via Dallas Cowboys And The NFL  |  November 08, 2009
PHILADELPHIA - Trailing 13-10 after Donovan McNabb's 11-yard TD pass to Brent Celek, the Cowboys did what they've done so often in big games under Wade Phillips - commit a turnover. This time, it was Eagles CB intercepting a Tony Romo pass that went behind Jason Witten. Romo had gone a career-high three games without an interception, a string that covered 144 attempts.

Is DeSean Jackson playing?

Via Dallas Cowboys And The NFL  |  November 08, 2009
PHILADELPHIA - It's the 2-minute warning and explosive Eagles WR DeSean Jackson still doesn't have a catch. The reason is simple: He can't shake Cowboys CB Terence Newman. It also helps that the Dallas pass rush isn't giving Donovan McNabb much time to plant his feat and survey the field. Jackson entered the game with four TD receptions of 50-plus yards.
