NFL Week 5: Monday Night Game Wrapup

Dallas Cowboys at Buffalo Bills

Tony Romo - 29/50, 309 yards, 2 TD, 5 INT, 2/7, 1 FL. Romo thought it was Halloween and dressed up like Rex Grossman. All his stats, outside of the turnovers, were about what was expected of him against a poor defense. He turned it around late by leading the Cowboys to 2 scoring drives, the 2nd of which resulted in the game winning FG.

Julius Jones - 12/41. He's a turd barely worth starting as a RB3 most weeks.

Marion Barber - 8/28, 6/45. Solid yardage given his limited touches per usual, but unless he's scoring, it's hard for him to put up double digit points. The Cowboys must think that using Jones makes Barber better because there's no question who's the superior RB when watching the games.

Terrell Owens - 2/25. Another clunker from Owens, and he would have added a 2 point conversion in there had the ball not been stripped from him by a CB who wanted it more. He's frustrating you right now, but despite the tough matchup against NE, expect him to turn in a big performance as the Moss/Owens subplot could take center stage.

Patrick Crayton - 6/73, 1 TD. Another solid game from Crayton who will continue to be a very solid WR3 while Glenn is sidelined.

Jason Witten - 9/103, 1 TD. Gates is the most consistent of the bunch, but the best draft value for TEs so far goes to Jason Witten and Dallas Clark. Witten has owned the middle of the field while Owens concerns defenses on the outside.

Trent Edwards - 23/31, 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 1/6. It's OK Trent, you can throw down the field on occasion. Edwards made a living off of 1-10 yard passes with the 2 longest completions (23, 16) being mostly comprised of YAC by Lynch and Parrish respectively. Lee Evans gave a ringing endorsement for Losman in week 7, so we'll see who gets the nod. Still, Edwards turned in a solid performance.

Lee Evans
- 1/12. He caught one out pass, and that was it. Not what owners wanted after a somewhat bounceback performance last week. This could have been the work of Terrance Newman, however, who appears healthy again.
