Battle of Defenses Cowboys Emerge Victorious 13-9

The Dallas Cowboys defense finally stepped up this week. In my opinion I felt that because the Dallas offense with Romo could put up points at will, that the Defense took a back seat and could relax. Last week was a wake up call and now they woke up the beast that is the Dallas D. Dallas kept Tampa from scoring a touchdown in its 5 trips to the redzone and kept them to 3 field goals. It shows that even with the countless injuries to key players on defense that this team has the ability to step up and be the best on any given Sunday. Brad Johnson did so-so but did throw a touchdown pass to Roy Williams his first as a Cowboy. Marion Barber had 71 rushing yards and countless important 1st downs. Owens was kept just for 33 receiving yards. The game ended with a last minute attempt by Tampa to score for the win. They converted 2 4th down attemps but the 3rd wasnt the charm and they were stopped with the Cowboys emerging on top. Dallas moves to 5-3 same with the Tampa Bay. Its not getting any easier for Dallas as they face division rivals the Giants (6-1) at New York next week. Lets hope the new great defensive play continues through out the season.
