The Dallas Cowboys cornerbacks -- Terence Newman and Mike Jenkins -- prevented Philadelphia wide receiver DeSean Jackson from hitting on his trademark big plays in Sunday's game. Punter Mat McBriar took Jackson out of his return game.
Jackson returned only one of five punts, for nine yards. The other four punts testified to McBriar's growing skills at hang time and directional accuracy. Jackson took two fair catches and watched the other two punts go out of bounds, at the Eagles 18- and 21-yard lines. Of McBriar's last 27 punts, 17 have resulted in the opponent starting a possession inside its 20.

IRVING - In addition to taking him out of the passing game, the Cowboys did a great job limiting DeSean Jackson's opportunities to make a game-breaking play returning punts.
Mat McBriar punted five times, landing three inside the 20, with each kick high and coverable.
Jackson only one back, gaining a meager 9 yards.

Philadelphia owed its second score -- a 48-yard field goal by David Akers -- at least in part to a mistake on punt coverage by Cowboys linebacker Curtis Johnson.
The Cowboys' possession ended with a Mat McBriar punt that was downed at the Philadelphia three. McBriar had to kick again because Johnson was called for going downfield too early for the seventh penalty of the season...

PHILADELPHIA - Keith Brooking and Jay Ratliff recorded back to back sacks, but the credit should really go to Terence Newman.
Donovan McNabb was looking to get the ball to DeSean Jackson both times, but Newman had the speedster covered step for step.
I predicted the Eagles would win that matchup, but so far Newman has the upperhand.

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...

IRVING - Why?
Because his defense was, for the most part, outstanding last night in Philadelphia.
The Eagles came into the game averaging nearly 30 points, but the Cowboys held them to just 16 with one touchdown thanks to four sacks (two by Jay Ratliff), two interceptions and two stops (Bradie James, Marcus Spears) on third-and-one and fourth-and-one in the fourth quarter.
