TIDBIT: The Cowboys continue to struggle on the ground no matter who is running the ball. They managed only 85 yards on 32 carries Thursday. Julius Jones had the worst day of his two-year career as a starter. Jones rushed for 55 yards on 20 carries. Marion Barber rushed for 28 yards on nine carries.
Jones is still seeking his first 100-yard game this season.


The Cowboys' inability to run led to a season-high 44 pass attempts by quarterback Drew Bledsoe.

"We just didn't run it well," Cowboys tight end Dan Campbell said. "They moved a lot of their fronts and blitzed us a lot."
