Eagles have to settle for another field goal

Found November 08, 2009 on Dallas Cowboys And The NFL:
PLAYERS: David Akers,  Terence Newman
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  Dallas Cowboys

Carolina_panthers_v_2707
PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles have only one TD this season on a drive that lasted 10 plays or more. On their last drive tonight, which lasted 12 plays, they had to settle for a 48-yard David Akers field goal, cutting the Cowboys lead to 7-6 with 1:38 left. With their explosive receivers shut down, the Eagles can't generate much offense other than an occasional solid gain by rookie LeSean McCoy. Bottom line: As long as Terence Newman and Co. can handcuff DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, the Dallas defense should be in control.

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.

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.

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.
