| (MySportsbook) - For the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, the NFC East title is not going to be sitting under the tree Christmas morning. The clubs, who will meet at Texas Stadium Monday evening, will have to engage in a little holiday overtime to keep their hopes of a division crown intact. Dallas, which has won four of its last five including an important 38-28 win in Atlanta last Saturday night, needs only a victory on Monday to claim its first NFC East title since 1998. The Cowboys own a one-gam |

His career has been hampered by a history of headstrong behavior - most notably a post-practice tirade directed at Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells, in which Bryant threw his sweaty jersey at the coach. Bryant was sent to anger-management counseling and eventually traded to Cleveland, where he had his first 1,000-yard season in 2005 despite falling out of favor with the co |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Julius Jones already has his first 1,000-yard rushing season for the playoff-bound Dallas Cowboys. The running back is healthy and hasn't missed a game. It's the exact scenario Jones hoped for this year, except for one thing: He's getting fewer chances to carry the ball and score since Marion Barber III has excelled on third downs and in goal-line situations. ``Other than that, things have gone pretty well,'' Jones said Wednesday, making a rare appearance in the locker room during m |

New York is 7-7, and fell to third place in the NFC East standings, two games behind the division-leading Dallas Cowboys and one game back of the Eagles. The Giants are not mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, but jeopardized their chances for a Wild Card berth. They still hold the tiebreaker over Atlanta for the sixth and final playoff spot in the NFC, |

Perhaps the Saints were due for a letdown one week after they throttled the Dallas Cowboys in front of a national audience. And considering all that New Orleans has accomplished this season, the team has probably earned a mulligan. However, Sunday's game does bring about a few questions.

| (MySportsbook) - The Atlanta Falcons were dealt a potentially hazardous loss over the weekend, a 38-28 setback to the Dallas Cowboys at the Georgia Dome. Unfortunately that final result, which carries a great deal of significance to the playoff fortunes of both teams, and how it came about were the last things people wanted to discuss afterwards. Most of the pregame talk centered around head coach Jim Mora's confusing comments on a Seattle radio show a few days before Saturday's encounter, in which the Fal |

| New York, NY (MySportsbook) - Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens was fined $35,000, but not suspended by the NFL for spitting in the face of Atlanta Falcons cornerback D'Angelo Hall in Saturday night's game. After the game Owens admitted to the NFL Network that he spit on the mouthy defender. He said, "I got frustrated and I apologize for that. It was a situation where he kept bugging me and getting in my face." The incident, which was not caught on camera, took place after Hall shoved Owens out of |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -That speech Bill Parcells gave about how to win a championship finally seemed to sink in for the Dallas Cowboys. The words of wisdom were ignored last week when the Cowboys were routed at home by New Orleans. They still weren't having an impact when Dallas let an early 14-0 lead turn into a 28-21 deficit to the Atlanta Falcons on the road Saturday night. Then, everything clicked. The defense stopped giving up big plays and started making key stops, the offense started humming again |

Andersen connected of four extra points in the game and he now has him 2,437 points in his career, three more than Gary Anderson. "It's tough to talk about individual records when you lose a football game as a team," said Andersen. "So, it is bittersweet. I am proud of our accom |
