Dallas Cowboys And The NFL:
ARLINGTON - Patrick Crayton's 73-yard punt return for a touchdown punctuated what has been an outstanding day for the Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas leads 34-14 with 8:38 left.
It's a sweet moment for Crayton, who lost his job as punt return when Dallas signed Allen Rossum during the bye week. But with Rossum knocked out of the game with a hip injury in the first quarter, the Cowboys called on Crayton.
