NFL Week 7: Cowboys 37, Falcons 21

Summary

The Cowboys entered this game as an underdog and were doubted the whooole week before it. The silenced the doubters and upset the betters by dominating the Atlanta Falcons is beautiful fashion. We were clicking on all cylinders. Offense: Tony Romo threw for 311 yards, 3 scores and zero interceptions and we totaled 414 yards. Defense: we sacked Matt Ryan 4 times and forced him to throw 2 interceptions while we allowed only 298 total yards. Special Teams: Patrick Crayton returned a punt for touchdown to seal the game in the 4th quarter with less than 8 minutes left. Whether you want to believe it or not, this was a huge game for the Cowboys to win so they could prove to themselves and the rest of the league that we are who we say we are. This was our first statement game this season and we answered the call. Oh yea, I forgot to mention that Miles Austin was a BEAST again with 6 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns
