NFC East: Dallas D delivers in crunch time

(Sports Network) - It's not often when a defense surrenders 37 points in a game and gets commended afterwards. In the case of the Dallas Cowboys, such praise was justifiable at the conclusion of Monday's thrilling and hard-fought victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Dallas' much-improved play on the defensive side during the second half of its 41-37 outlasting of the visiting Eagles wound up being the difference in a fierce battle between bitter division rivals that was otherwise evenly matched in terms of execution as well as intensity. After moving the football at will during a 30-point outburst over the first two quarters, Philadelphia managed only one sustained drive against the Cowboys' resurgent stop unit in the final 30 minutes.
The defense was at its best right when it was needed the most. With Dallas trailing 37-34 midway through the fourth quarter, nose tackle Jay Ratliff pounced on a loose football caused by a mishandled exchange between Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and running back Brian Westbrook to thwart a potential scoring drive in Cowboys' territory. Dallas promptly marched 67 yards on the ensuing possession and grabbed a four-point lead on Marion Barber's one-yard plunge into the end zone, the powerful back's second touchdown of the night, with 4:35 left to play.
The Cowboys forced the Eagles to go three-and-out on their following series, then ratcheted up the pressure on McNabb, who had frustrated the defense all evening long with his ability to escape from the pocket and either scramble or find open receivers, in the crucial final moments. Linebackers Greg Ellis and DeMarcus Ware each sacked the star signal-caller to set up a 4th-and-long situation that McNabb and his offense were unable to get out of this time.
Philadelphia rolled up 222 total yards of offense and held the ball 18 1/2 minutes in the first half, but those numbers were cut down to 115 yards and just under 12 1/2 minutes of possession time after intermission.
"I thought we got stronger defensively," said Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips. "(McNabb) was hard to get to, obviously. We missed him a lot of times. But we did sack him some and right at the end, our defense kind of took over."
QUICK HITS: Former Eagle Terrell Owens antagonized his ex-mates with a 72-yard touchdown haul from quarterback Tony Romo on Dallas' opening possession, then added a four-yard scoring catch in the second quarter. It was the All-Pro wideout's 30th career multi-touchdown game...Tight end Jason Witten compiled 110 yards on a team-best seven receptions despite separating the AC joint in his right shoulder during the first half...Barber's first score of the night was a nifty 17-yard grab from Romo in the third quarter...Rookie running back Felix Jones took back a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown late in the first quarter, becoming the first Dallas player to score in that fashion since Randal Williams did so against the Eagles on October 8, 2003...The Cowboys were penalized 10 times for 108 yards on Monday.
INJURY REPORT: Strong safety Roy Williams fractured his right forearm during the third quarter of Monday's game and will be sidelined for the next 3-to-4 weeks. Pat Watkins replaced him in the base defense and finished with five tackles. Cornerback Terence Newman, who sat out the team's season-opening win at Cleveland with a groin injury, was active against the Eagles but played solely in nickel and dime packages...Reserve wide receiver Sam Hurd missed his second straight contest with a high ankle sprain...Cory Procter started again at left guard in place of regular Kyle Kosier, who will sit out at least a couple of more weeks with a hairline fracture of his right foot.
GIANTS: The NFL's kings of the road claimed yet another victim on Sunday, as the New York Giants extended their remarkable run of success in enemy venues with a 41-13 thrashing of the hapless St. Louis Rams at the Edward Jones Dome.
The victory was New York's 11th straight in an opposing stadium, which does not include the defending world champions' 17-14 vanquishing of New England in last season's Super Bowl. The Giants have not lost on the road since a 45-35 setback at Dallas during Week 1 of the 2007 campaign.
The Giants outgained the Rams by a whopping 441-201 margin in total yards, but the outcome of Sunday's clash still wasn't decided until the final quarter. After St. Louis closed within 20-13 on a 45-yard touchdown pass from Marc Bulger to Torry Holt with 10:46 remaining, New York responded with three unanswered touchdowns to put the game away.
Two of those scores came from second-year running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who took a short Eli Manning pass 18 yards to paydirt and capped the day's scoring with a 31-yard scoring burst with under 3 1/2 minutes left.
"We wanted to finish drives, we wanted to finish everything, get some more touchdowns," said Manning. "When things got tight where we needed to make a play, we were able to make the plays."
In between Bradshaw's touchdowns, defensive end Justin Tuck intercepted Bulger behind the line of scrimmage and rumbled 41 yards for a back-breaking score. The accomplished pass rusher's first career touchdown gave Big Blue a comfortable 34-13 lead with 5:30 to go.
Tuck also had two of New York's six sacks of Bulger on the afternoon.
The Giants showed excellent balance as well on Sunday, as the offense churned out 200 yards on the ground and received one of the best statistical days of Manning's five-year career. The level-headed quarterback completed 20-of-29 throws for 260 yards and three touchdowns without being intercepted.
QUICK HITS: Manning finished with a passer rating of 131.4, his best-ever number for a regular-season contest. The former No. 1 overall pick had a 132.4 rating in last January's NFC Divisional Playoff win over Dallas...Defensive tackle Fred Robbins also took down Bulger twice on Sunday for his first multi- sack game since November 4, 2004...The Giants improved to 23-12 in regular- season games played indoors, the second-best percentage for an outdoor-based team in domed stadiums in the league. Washington has the best mark at 25-11...Starting tight end Kevin Boss failed to record a catch for a second straight week, although the second-year pro did have a 28-yard grab in the third quarter waved off due to a holding penalty.
INJURY REPORT: Starting defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka, considered a game-time decision for Sunday after he sprained an ankle in the Giants' Week 1 win over Washington, was active but split snaps with veteran Renaldo Wynn...Kicker Lawrence Tynes remains sidelined following recent knee surgery and isn't expected back until after New York's Week 4 bye. Forty-four-year-old John Carney handled Tynes' duties again on Sunday and went 2-for-2 on field goal tries...Cornerback/punt returner R.W. McQuarters was inactive with a strained calf, while rookie corner Terrell Thomas missed a second straight game due to a hamstring injury.
EAGLES: Although DeSean Jackson has found instant success during his very brief tenure in the NFL, the Philadelphia rookie receiver DeSean Jackson still has quite a bit to learn.
Jackson would have scored his first professional touchdown in Monday's wild loss to the Cowboys, when McNabb hit the fleet-footed youngster in stride after he blew past the Dallas secondary in the second quarter. However, Jackson threw away what should have been a 61-yard score when he casually tossed the football backward before crossing the goal line while in the act of showboating.
As it turned out, Jackson's gaffe didn't hurt the Eagles any, since the play -- initially ruled a touchdown -- was reversed but the ball was declared dead at the Dallas one because the whistle had blown. Fantasy owners of Westbrook benefited from the mistake, however, as the star running back vaulted into the end zone on the very next play.
"Things happen. It's one of those things where I was over-excited," Jackson explained afterward. "I'm young and trying to have fun. I'm kind of mad at myself because I could have had a touchdown."
Jackson's careless actions and casual response following the game reinforced the reputation the former University of California star had developed as a collegian, a cocky and selfish type whose attitude questions played a large role in the 21-year-old's tumbling into the second round of last April's draft.
Those character red flags notwithstanding, the Eagles appear to have gotten themselves a steal with the team's selection of the slight but speedy wideout with the 49th overall pick of the 2008 class. Jackson amassed 110 yards on six receptions against the Cowboys, a near duplication of the six-catch, 106-yard outing he produced in Philadelphia's 38-3 Week 1 triumph over St. Louis.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Jackson became the first rookie receiver since the Eagles' Don Looney in 1940 to begin his career with back-to-back 100-yard performances.
Westbrook finished the night with three touchdowns, scoring twice on one-yard runs in addition to a six-yard catch from McNabb in the second quarter.
QUICK HITS: McNabb's touchdown strike to Westbrook was his 175th in an Eagles uniform, tying the five-time Pro Bowl honoree with Ron Jaworski for the most scoring passes in team annals...Westbrook now has 30 rushing touchdowns and 25 receiving scores for his career, which makes the versatile back only the seventh player in NFL history to amass 25 TD's in both categories. Marshall Faulk, Lenny Moore, James Brooks, John David Crow, Frank Gifford and Timmy Brown are the others...Linebacker Chris Gocong scored his first career touchdown when he recovered a Romo fumble in the end zone early in the second quarter...Cornerback Asante Samuel, Philadelphia's prized offseason free-agent acquisition, had his first interception as an Eagle and 17th since the 2006 season during Monday's game. That's tops in the NFL during that time period.
INJURY REPORT: All-Pro right guard Shawn Andrews was forced to exit Monday's tilt in the second quarter with a back injury and was replaced in the lineup by Max-Jean Gilles. He will undergo an MRI on Tuesday and his status for this week's game with Pittsburgh is uncertain...Wide receiver Reggie Brown missed a second straight contest with a sore hamstring, with Jackson taking his customary spot at flanker...Split end Kevin Curtis (sports hernia surgery) and defensive end Victor Abiamiri (fractured wrist) remain sidelined indefinitely.
REDSKINS: What a difference a week (or in this case, 10 days) has made for the Washington offense.
After being repeatedly being stopped in their tracks during last week's forgettable 16-7 defeat to the division-rival Giants on September 4, the Redskins' new West Coast attack operated like a well-oiled machine during Sunday's 29-22 comeback win over New Orleans at FedEx Field. Washington carved up a depleted Saints defense for 455 yards and 25 first downs, while holding the football for over 34 minutes to give first-year head coach Jim Zorn his initial NFL victory.
In the debut of the Zorn era, the Redskins mustered a mere 209 yards total, with most of it coming in the fourth quarter, along with a paltry 11 first downs.
Quarterback Jason Campbell made the most noticeable progress from the opener, as the fourth-year pro put up 321 yards and a score on 24-of-36 passing and was not intercepted over the course of the afternoon. The touchdown came via a 67-yard deep strike to speedy wide receiver Santana Moss that sent Washington to the lead with 3:29 to play.
Against the Giants, Campbell completed only 15-of-27 throws for 133 yards and often looked lost trying to grasp the nuances of Zorn's offense. He appeared much more comfortable and decisive on Sunday, and it showed in the final results.
"Those are the things we're trying to teach Jason, and he took a big step forward," said Zorn following the game.
Campbell did his best work during a critical fourth quarter in which the Redskins rallied from a 24-15 deficit with a pair of touchdowns. The 26-year- old hit on 8-of-9 throws for 166 yards in the final period.
Washington also showed an improved effort on the ground in Sunday's win, with the team rushing for 149 yards on just 31 attempts. Workhorse back Clinton Portis ended with 96 yards on 21 carries and two of the offense's three touchdowns.
QUICK HITS: Moss compiled 164 yards on seven catches, the second-highest yardage total of his eight-year career, and added 27 more yards on an end around in the first quarter. The veteran wideout had 173 receiving yards in a loss at Kansas City on October 16, 2005...Rookie safety Chris Horton received an emergency start in place of an ill Reed Doughty (stomach flu) and made the most of the chance. The seventh-round draftee intercepted Saints quarterback Drew Brees twice and recovered a New Orleans fumble while being credited with two passes defensed...Kicker Shaun Suisham booted three field goals on Sunday but missed on two other tries, including a 30-yard attempt in the first half...The Redskins improved to 8-4 all-time in home openers at FedEx Field.
INJURY REPORT: Wide receivers James Thrash and Malcolm Kelly suffered ankle sprains during Sunday's contest, which has the status of both players in doubt for the Redskins' Week 3 matchup against Arizona...Starting strongside linebacker Marcus Washington was inactive against the Saints due to a strained hamstring, with H.B. Blades taking his spot in the lineup...Backup linebacker Khary Campbell (thigh) and rookie safety Kareem Moore (hamstring) also did not dress on Sunday.
GAME OF THE WEEK
Dallas (2-0) at Green Bay (2-0) -- Sunday, 8:15 p.m. (et):
This marquee matchup will pit the teams that tied for the best record in the NFL with identical 13-3 records, although the Cowboys wound up with the conference's top seed by virtue of a 37-27 triumph at Texas Stadium in Week 13.
