Dallas Cowboys 37, Miami Dolphins 20

Monday, September 17th, 2007

The Dallas Cowboys were ballhogs yesterday as they had possession of the football for 35:03 of the football game yesterday against the Dolphins.  Tony Romo had a solid game completing 14 of 29 passes for 186 with 2 TD passes and 0 interceptions.  He also ran the ball 4 times for 36 yards (9.0 ypc).  Marion Barber did the heavy lifting in the running game as he carried the ball 14 times for 89 yards (6.4 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  Julius Jones had a rough time finding running room against the Dolphins as he carried the ball 15 times for 32 yards (2.1 ypc).  WR Terrell Owens was outstanding as usual with 5 catches for 97 yards (19.4 avg) with 1 TD.  The Cowboys finished up with 166 yards rushing on 36 carries (4.6 ypc) and they completed 14 of 29 passes for 186 yards.

The defense was outstanding yesterday for the Cowboys as they held the Dolphins to 61 yards rushing on 21 carries (2.9 ypc) and they intercepted Trent Green 4 times!  CB Anthony Henry (2 tackles, 2 interceptions) and safeties Roy Williams (4 tackles, interception) and Ken Hamlin (5 tackles, interception) were baiting Trent Green into the mistakes the whole game.  The Dolphins did throw for 273 yards on 23 of 40 passing but it didn’t matter in the long run as the Cowboys were the vastly superior team yesterday.
