What more could you ask for? It was a high scoring, high octane, high intensity battle under the Monday Night Lights which saw The Dallas Cowboys barely squeek by The Philadelphia Eagles, 41-37. This game saw ups and downs and at times it wasn't pretty, other times however, were beautiful.
What wasn't pretty...
-The scrambling, pressured throw by Tony Romo directly to Asante Samuels for an interception.
-Romo's bobbled handoff in the endzone which resulted in 6 points for The Eagles.
-The 10 penalties for over 100 yards.
-Letting McNabb break away from more potential sacks than I can count.
-And of course losing Roy Williams for over a month due to a broken forearm.
What was beautiful...
-The 72 yard bomb to T.O. for a touchdown.
-Felix Jones' 98 yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
-Marion Barber's 17 yard catch and 1 yard run for touchdowns.
-The Clutch field goals by Nick Folk for 51 and 47 yards.
-TE Martellus Bennett's first catch in his career going for 20 yards.
-The defense shutting down McNabb when it mattered most in the 4th quarter.
-The two blocked passes by rookie Mike Jenkins and by veteran Zach Thomas that saved potential touchdowns.
-The fact that Dallas pulled out a win for the last Monday Night Game played in Texas Stadium.
-And we can't forget Jason Witten dislocating his shoulder late in the first quarter, but coming back in the game and making 7 crucial catches for 110 yards.
It was one of the most memorable games you could have seen, (at least since last year's Monday Night Game at Buffalo,) and it provided the most points scored in the history of all Eagles/Cowboys games.
There were tons of big plays which made it directly to the highlight reel on Tuesday Morning, including the boneheaded play by The Eagles' DeSean Jackson who foolishly dropped the ball 1 yard from the goalline when heading into the endzone.
There's not much more to say. The game gave me about 3 heart attacks and 2 anxiety attacks with it's 7 lead changes, and if you missed it, you missed a great match-up. Next week it's off to Green Bay (2-0) to challenge the emerging superstar QB Aaron Rodgers. Let's Go Cowboys, Let's Go!
