COWBOY RECORDS that have or can be broken this weekend

from Inside Slant - USATODAY

—A victory against the Redskins will give the Cowboys 14 wins in a season for the first time in franchise history.

- A win would also allow the Cowboys to finish 8-0 on the road, marking just the fifth such feat since 1978.

—QB Tony Romo needs just six completions to tie the franchise record for most completions in a season (334), set by Danny White in 1983. He already has set the single-season mark for passing yards and passing touchdowns.

—RB Marion Barber has rushed for 110 yards against the Panthers as part of a 148-yard effort on the ground. Most impressive in the game was the team's season-high 37 carries, especially since the Cowboys ran it only 31 times the previous two games combined when they got away from the running game.

—WR Terrell Owens' 81 catches for a team-best 1,355 yards along with TE Jason Witten's team-best 94 catches for 1,121 yards make Dallas one of just three teams to have two pass catchers with 80 or more catches and 1,000-plus yards each. The others are the Bengals and Patriots.

—Dallas is one of just two teams in the league to have three pass catchers with seven or more receiving touchdowns each — Owens (14), Patrick Crayton (seven) and Witten (seven). The other is the Steelers.
