Marino does not look like it he did not in a huge stand defensively for the death [Applause] there's sack by Spears and a big difference on first down or almost steps up and throws and there's roy williams a big catch for the dallas cowboys Brava pulls it back and floats it for miles austin rather sam heard who makes the catch hurt still going brought down inside the 25 they're going to mark him out at the 20 and on 4th and 3 Tony Romo just made a play and off to Larry Johnson his drag down and a good play by Ratliff last few weeks to handle him one-on-one castle backpedaling Brooking brings him down and a big sack by Keith Brooking Austan stays inbounds gets a block down the sideline and down inside down gas has been hit 12 times in this game already and there it is sack number one DeMarcus Ware it took him until the fifth game but after having 20 last year a franchise record where gets his first here this afternoon well DeMarcus Ware this time is going to use an inside move as you're gonna see he goes against Rhino Callahan he starts up the field but he comes underneath him and I'm sure O'Callahan watched a lot of film on him this week that's something that you don't see a lot of from DeMarcus Ware he's tipped under at 7 yards to third down conversions on this drive and here's choice getting around page Tashard choice touchdown for a big cowboy touchdown and a good job up front you're gonna see I mean he's if he doesn't he hasn't gotten touched yet and doesn't get touched until the very end of his an offensive line coming off the ball and open and now in his third throws and hits Austin has been his best target today [Applause] down the sideline for Austin and Austin makes a plan what a play by Miles Austin who's having a game of his career took it away from Brandon card 34 yards how about this for his first NFL start it's pretty good coverage too and Miles Austin gets by him and Romo lays it up and gives him a chance Carr gets turned around and Miles Austin just simply goes up over him and fights for the ball you see it looked like Carr had it had better possession of it at one time but [Applause] right through the middle of the defense down inside the ten [Applause] the kick is blocked and the Cowboys will take over Ratliff got in there and made the play so the defense holds and number 90 the Pro Bowler Ratliff with a hurdle a block and the Cowboys have it tied at 13 throws and there's Austin Miles Austin first NFL start the cowboy hero today no flies scene linebacker that he spots in the heat and the offensive line does a great job of ciphering through all that and given him ample protection Miles Austin on the slant route not bad conference really just an excellent throw good catch there by Miles Austin and then it was just off to the races got out of the crack and his first NFL start for the injured Roy Williams and now DeMarcus Ware is in on the sack the receiver Miles Austin and choice bounces it to the edge to shard choice every time he's touched it today he's made a difference throws and completes to Austin what a day no flags on the field he can fly on home Garet with a hug for miles Austin and miles Austin was the star of this throwback day in Kansas City I would seen that a couple times in this game and legged was there in coverage and you know Austin does a good job of coming back and making the catch he just breaks the tackle they're unable to get him to the ground and then once he gets out of that tackle you see the speed that he has and we've seen it throughout the day today and you're right Joe I mean what a day Miles Austin had and a game that was needed with Roy Williams back at home and a team that was in desperate need of a win first NFL start 10 catches and a cowboy rapper 250 yards receiving and to 2 billion it's nickel they bring Bennett now and for extra fast protection and he was caught on a slant by Williams and why Williams up to the 44 yard line so they converted on the 3rd and 8th 20 yard game Quentin Michael the safety makes this odd well they shifted coverages right at the end Sean Jones is going to come up here on the Blitz and it left a void in behind Romo saw it and just fired it right where Jones left big play for Roy Williams who's been looking to make some he was pretty disappointed this week he thought that some of the throws that Romo those with five receivers [Applause] his hands in who sets up in a slot to fake the choice the pass has been thrown to older tree and older trees inside the ten and takes them all to the three yard line on his discharge choice will take his second snap [Applause] the touchdown for so many seasons with the ago so [Music] McMahon gets taken down by jail [Music] the Jason Whitney leads and the pass is incomplete that's the Marcus where [Applause] Plus now a twisting sack by Jane and that's Ratliff second sack and in machine is Patrick crazy territory inside the 30 and finding tripped up at the 19 yard line chasing him was Tracy white the linebacker from behind and that was into his own guy ends ends up getting knocked off the coverage here you can see winds up leaving Creighton wide open down the field because he ran into his own guy it's a second time we've seen it sitting in the half [Applause] shut up asleep in the [Applause] three and he takes it to the floor setting up a first down and goal [Applause] picked off by Mike Jenkins and a flag comes in at the end of the play the pass intended for the rookie Jeremy Maclin Macklin's going to do a little hesitation here like he's not going to do anything and then try and take off again but Jenkins was not fooled had it all the way and then are at the tail end of the play you could see Macklin with the facemask will you play there by Jenkins who has come a wall in the past month one of the Cowboys 5th pick this season [Applause] and turning it [Applause] the language touchdown settin it up and set it up they knew that Sheldon Brown was susceptible to the double move he likes to look at the quarterback and that time got barbecued watch the slant and go you'll see Sheldon Brown look back into the backfield at the quarterback read that three-step drop try to jump it and there's the guy we've been trying to tell you about all night down [Applause] the 37 yard line by Victor Butler a rookie out of Oregon State who's played sparingly fourth round pick and he is able to get just enough of McNabb that dropped him and there is nobody left on that side of the field this looked like he was going to run for at least the first down one shoestring maybe the linebacker comes over and makes the play there but that really was starting to open up great play by Butler 33 [Applause] first down taking it to the 49 there is your two-minute warning and now the Dallas Cowboys are in primo position to move into undisputed possession of first place in the NFC they're every bit as big as what Dallas is up front here's it thrown to Roy Williams and he sheds a tackle and gets it to the Green Bay 40 went around Truman Williams there's a blitz from Scandrick off the edge and Down Goes Rogers ball comes out flag down on the play there whistling the play dead at the 15 yard line imbedded zone 48th and Rogers is sacked for the fourth time today and the second of the day for the markets where first time in 94 games as rama throws Williams takes it away for the touchdown Roy Williams in front of from on Williams got his hands in front of Rahman and made the catch there will be no shutout and it's 17 to 6 with the extra point coming it's a good throw by Tony Romo and actually a good catch by Roy Williams a ball thrown on the back shoulder up high Roy Williams is a big receiver and a well-placed ball Ramon Williams was in pretty good position but because that bottle was thrown behind he was then able to move for two that was called the middle linebacker getting his first start that missed the initial tackle Rommel throws into the the hands of Witten great coverage and somehow Witten comes down with the deflection play action from Eli Manning down the middle of the field for Smith Newman broke it up second at 15 handoff is to Bradshaw lost the football Ratliff is there and ends up with it although Bradshaw is trying to fight for it it's reputable it's there they do Conroe both roles endzone that's Roy Williams for the touchdown it's first down to the 25 there's play-action Spencer coming into the end zone it's Jenkins with the interception for Dallas [Applause] he's fumbled in this game and a play made by Spencer and a better blocker than he gets credit for because he is such a good receiver second and goal they faked the toss throw to Williams he has his second of the day we're gonna see what the play-action does then to the linebackers because once they hit it it opens everything up right in behind him a Webster and man but he he's anticipating the sweep as well punks throws and completes doing Williams what a day two touchdowns and now a completion to Williams on third and 14 of 25 yards in OC human urine he's going to take an inside pass rush which allows Romo then to get flushed outside to his left and buy himself some time right there you can see then the lane that is created for Tony Romo and not bad coverage by Bruce Johnson I mean this is just a perfectly thrown pass right there right on the left eye in over the last two years make it three years with two playoff losses here's a completion for a touchdown to Miles Austin and the return cast attorney miss Felix Jones taken off out to the 47 third down rivers pays the price [Music] riding to the 44 of the Chargers [Applause] [Music] checked off taking it inside the town and your drive take the barber Haven attack touchdown [Music] [Applause] [Music] said do they have speed yeah they do it's a double get them to bike just a tad Jenkins just hesitates and then Myles hitch the next gear [Applause] out of a chakra [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Patrick Crayton for a first down [Applause] please [Music] Henderson intercepted by Jenkins the musician he once watch is going to get right off their raids on the top side but the ball is underthrown [Music] to return the pot more gets plastered while and Oh Scandrick 13 please hit by well Cowboys have it so recovered it after where gets his tenth sack were to be able to get that he just goes off that left side it's not even close those who speed gets to the top side hip-to-hip you win you see the nice dip at the end it's good 2007 and it's a good catch made by Kevin Ogletree a rookie free agent out of Virginia only his fifth catch of the season gain of 17 and watch over this is a great route is a one on one vocal treat down now watch the concentration and the feet one down two down just simply outstanding js5 bill Shenzhen for touchdown but this is all Marion Barber from the inside where it was supposed to go not under pressure sack by Spencer the other line we were talking about [Applause] he's getting its act again by Spencer that's a second sacra Spencer and the second time nobody blocked him yeah remember earlier they went with a play action and the tailback didn't pick him up this time there's no [Applause] to the Saints 45 gain of 32 and Austin is able to find the hole in his own you see wind underneath did a nice job of clearing that out underneath they followed him austin fills the void Sneed their offense [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] lucky guess he brought his AGame with a bad neck and that will end the undefeated quest for perfection this is the matchup that they wanted he beats them with power and speed and there's the fumble [Applause] [Music] three gamble and that's Terence Newman and that's his eighth career interception against the Washington Redskins eight of his lifetime 24 second down and goal play fake Seconal [Applause] [Music] the end zone does so well and never any better than he's done this season buys time has that peripheral vision that instinct just knows where the pressure is coming from extends the play and the pays off for six Tony Romo beat the Redskins on a play just about like this escaping pressure lat and makes just a brilliant throw he may not be to his liking third and 15 [Applause] that is Jay we went to the Pro Bowl last year and Ratliff and candle played together for four years at Auburn how do you do well first of all you get DeMarcus Ware using an inside move and forcing Campbell to step up and then as we have seen it is Jay Ratliff with the late pressure in the big hit [Applause] touchdown of the season books for a second but gets tackled into three yard line by Reed dowdy Ron Landry down and man coverage there he is one-on-one against Jason Witten and that is some route by a tight end to get a guy that can run like Landry and you saw Witten just have a at the top of that route in sprung up and for Tony Romo how accurate is this throw right there between the eight and the two perfect wonder today get spun around he still is able to make the play and Austin says first down LaRon Landry makes the tackle Brian a rack fo almost had the sack 17 yard game a rack close got to be thinking what I have to do to get Tony Romo on the ground he missed the sack at the end of the last game that cost him two game and here he is again he said you know the last time I played him he goes I'm telling you I had him dead to rights there's no way he saw me coming and at the last minute he spun out of there and he just did it again to that by 14 [Applause] and then the ball comes out as he's going the Dallas Cowboys lined up with it set up a Dallas touchdown as his arm is coming forward in the Lando speedran coming in on a corner blitz their starter coming into the year who went on I harbor breaks loose 32 yards before he's brought down by macho Harris good start for the Dallas Cowboys it's just going to be a slant to the weak side you'll see it right off tackle and the line does a good job John Phillips the tight end in at the full-back position lead blocks and it has been a while since Marion Barber has had a run like [Applause] on third down or almost slings you written touchdown out of the shotgun McNab is in trouble and down he goes Brady James gets his second of the season on first and 15 roma throws Patrick Crayton is wide open and knock down as he crossed a 45 247 of 30 yard catch and run so far Philadelphia just has not been able to harass Tony Romo within the pocket he's been given quite a bit of time to sit back there and find his receivers there's been very few blitzes coming off the corner with free rushers you see they're just a four-man rush playing zone behind it I thought it was interesting and talking [Applause] has all day Stan fights for the ball continues down the sideline and has a first down at the 20 the Philadelphia Eagles they got a premier pass rusher as well in Trent Cole and flow Zell Adams assigned the duty of slowing him down and he does a good job there on the backside for Romo and you know Samuel once again tries to make a play on this ball and if you don't make it and it's Miles Austin then who is on the receiving end you're gonna have a hard time getting him to the ground Samuel comes back tries to get at his ank pump fake wide open Creighton touchdown films into the flat you can see him here and then they put Patrick Crayton in behind him and Sheldon Brown gets caught peeking inside at Tony Romo Romo uses his shoulders and moves defenders about as well as anybody in football and got brown to bite remember if Sheldon Brooke Jackson instant justice back in the line of his McNabb lost the snap remember a new sinner in Dallas takes over Ratliff comes away with a football didn't even look to me like like McNabb was anticipating the snap I mean that he was expected to be hiked when it was just the simple parts of the game whether it's the quarterback center exchange or out of the shotgun new center Nick Cole Jamal Jackson is out and McNabb just dropped it yeah McNabb clearly was anticipating the ball to be snapped [Applause] clothes and hits Creighton in stride down in midfield with another cowboy first down over the middle it's a pond and he smacked by sensible [Applause] we're almost setting up the screen for Felix Jones Quentin Michael drags down Jones after a gain of 22 little toss to Felix John's room to run Felix John's still going Felix Jones touchdown Dallas no flies it's one of those big runs that they expect to see out of Felix Jones he's finally healthy and it's real simple but good execution but on the back end of this quit and Michael's in a position right there to make a play and he just fails to come off of Jason Witten and make the tackle then on Felix Jones and once Felix Jones breaks this tackle here he's got such great speed that even with inside-out pursuit they're not able to get to him until he's well across the goal line and a good job there by Doug free the right tackle working all the way across the field and lead a nice job virtually shutting them all down more treasure and Spencer with a loss they turn around next week and come right back here McNab gets out of one sack catcher cleans up a penalty flag is thrown that they're not going to do what they want to do without Tony Romo throws and hits Patrick Crayton has had a big game it just got bigger as he's down inside the 45 this is the eighth play of the drive to the left to exchange the first and stays down the sideline and staying in the block to the right side this is Kevin OB tree for a first and goal that a flag is down at Felix Jones [Applause] Rory gets left down by Sheldon Brown mexic Trotter right here is going to be the key to stopping the run for the Philadelphia Eagles and this time Andre Jerrod got up on him they thought that Trotter gave him a little juice as they called it last week a little emotion against the run but the Cowboys running game ran three and six the passion for Brent Celek and a flag is that spits back-to-back shutouts to end the season McMahon flushed out [Applause] Sam vodka not taking the direction great [Applause] from the 10 he's run back to the touchdowns issues [Applause] on the boilers at the 41-yard line first down for balance he hits Austin in stride before he gets to the 21 years why 36 yards what a tremendous read that time by Tony Romo you're going to see the safety come out of the middle Romo saw it hits the slant for the big play sometimes you try and get cute back there in the secondary here you go going to come right out to the left-hand side and there's nobody left in the middle but Tony Romo took a shot right in the chops as he threw it and now Dallas going [Applause] that the 6-yard line tackled by me until everybody sees it they all stand thick this time it's a hand up it gets fun cowboy stick they have it we're trying to get to the bottom of the file the way as if they'll have it and they will that's what really makes this play he's going to loop inside and watch Weaver pull away from the handoff when he sees Spencer he starts to try and pull out of there and you don't know is the running back [Applause] filled wrestle down at the floor first and gold al Jack there on center stage tonight at his second down and goal from the 6 yard line Romo off play action close to the [Applause] Billups is going to come across here and as will Witherspoon goes with him john phillips is going to block Witherspoon right into the corner back and effectively take them both out of the play but that quick screen to the wide receivers it's a mate for Philadelphia [Applause] and it's Grady James who recovers it humble here in Dallas as the ball again I don't think there's any question do you al look like you caught it so they took a couple of hop steps there we're inside two minutes so any review comes from upstairs first down what's the review now that's a no-brainer there the secondary does a great job and that in ground from the 40s from the 27 yard line [Applause] [Music] cuts inside of Hansen Samuel has for a touchdown 73 yards Joseph down down pull Leonard Davis out look at the secondary nobody in behind they're playing man coverage as they tried and when you pop one against that yeah Felix Jonesy something in the open field we saw only davalillo played on a super bold and then with the Falcons over a decade ago on that's gonna be in a second at the 49 last six game little book and he is with the Marcus where's [Applause] [Music] red hot Leila no pun intended flying tomato we'll be down in the that's probably more combo platter now 37 and you could see that come from me we'll make the recovery and DeMarcus Ware with the hammer quarterback he said I call it a sack [Applause] comes from behind and great players don't settle for the tackler the sack they want the football so clear a game away from the NFC Championship game but they weren't as good as the Minnesota Vikings today they accomplished a lot but the Vikings were still a ball believe it or not this story has a happy ending in 2009 the Dallas Cowboys moved into a new house this is the story of how together they made it their home but before they got the keys to the front door quarterback Tony Romo and the rest of the Cowboys had to play their first game in Florida someone interrupt the meeting of the minds over here but you know we're gonna drop back so few balls anything down around here against Tampa Bay in week one Romo did plenty the wink for over 350 yards and three touchdowns [Music] after you look at this kid great job way to see it let's enjoy this we're gonna be playing at home September 20th 2009 was one of the finest Sundays in the storied history of the Dallas Cowboys when Cowboys Stadium threw open its doors the vision of Jerry Jones and his family finally became a reality they celebrated with over 100,000 of their closest friends and though the Cowboys couldn't come away with a win it was still a night to remember [Applause] in Week three the Cowboys gave the Panthers a case of cat scratch fever [Music] a few Jake dogs three times and picking him off twice [Music] in 2009 veteran quarterback Terence Newman's combination of ball skills in physicality earned him a second trip to the Pro Bowl he was joined there by fellow cornerback Mike Jenkins number 21 by Jenkins and in his second season Jenkins blossomed into one of the league's most athletic playmakers he led the Cowboys by breaking up 23 passes and picking off five more Jenkinson even led a secondary that Lando's skander number 32 and he wins it outright it's intercepted Orlando Scandrick his safety Gerald sensible number 43 sensabaugh said I if you don't want to catch it I will in his first year as a cowboy veteran linebacker Keith Brooking turned back the clock and dialed up the intensity [Applause] [Applause] [Music] the leadership of linebacker Brady James seemed almost quiet by comparison James made sure his team-mates shoes were tied and that opponent sucks got knocked off he led a defense that was forth against the run and second in points allowed it included linebackers Anthony Spencer number 93 [Music] DeMarcus Ware number 94 that's a huge play for this Dallas defense as well as Pro Bowl nose tackle Jay rat left number 90 defensive end of your own shamsky number 99 and fellow in Marcos Spears number 96 Spears came explore then week 5 against Kansas City the Dallas defense muttered the Chiefs rushing attack keeping the two and two Cowboys in the game [Applause] in his first career start wide receiver Miles Austin caught 10 passes for a single game team record 215 receiving yards and in the fourth quarter he gave the Cowboys the lead [Music] [Music] after the Chiefs tied it up Austin gave the Cowboys one more when it mattered most then over time [Music] that broke the all-time receiving record Dallas [Applause] slate or maintenance Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo didn't need the extra help in week seven against the Falcons [Applause] [Music] [Applause] snap his back he's looking left scrambles rushed avoids us Pete [Music] [Applause] Robles are normal enough fellow but when he ducks into his locker and Don's at number 9 Jersey he turns into a Sandlot superhero number nine switz and his legs helping turn busted plays into gaines failure into a fighting chance to succeed and get away keep the play alive will do for you [Applause] when Norma stayed in the pocket he was protected by tackles Marc Columbo and Flozell Adams elbow guards Leonard Davis Pro Bowl Center Andre Jerrod number 65 and guard Kyle Kozar number 63 Romo had enough time to throw for a club record four thousand four hundred and eighty three yards and his grace and a fire produced not only points but pranks I don't think we know this but growing up and brilliance in Wisconsin I was getting shot at all the time left and right god you're the big bang you know come up I go to Stephen I'm like you know he he's like I got scared you know that scared

Seahawks Romo didn't feel much heat throwing for over 250 yards and three touchdowns linebacker DeMarcus Ware wasn't heard but felt he had anybody in sight [Music] I can go hit somebody [Music] and week nine the cowboys returned to the site of their spiritual de cleaning at the end of the 2008 season [Music] [Music] Eagles fans were in full throat expecting history to repeat itself but this Cowboys team was different the Dallas defense was a locomotive steaming through the Philadelphia offense his sack donovan mcnabb four times and picked him off twice [Music] with a score tied in the

Witten Lentol NFC tight ends with 94 receptions for 1030 yards and earned his sixth consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl wide-receiver Patrick Crayton made a lot of big catches for the Cowboys they also
