And boy did the Saints take full advantage of the chance to showcase themselves. Not only did the Saints beat the Dallas Cowboys, the team that had been playing the best football of any team in the NFC over the past month, but they embarrassed them in a thorough 42-17 pasting that no one could have foreseen.

Robertson adds depth to a backfield that might be without its top two tailbacks for Saturday night's crucial game against the Dallas Cowboys. Dunn went down in last week's 17-6 victory at Tampa Bay with a calf injury. Just a few plays later, Norwood left the game after hurting his right knee - the same one that kept the rookie out of a game earlier in the season. Dunn and Norwood bot |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Terrell Owens really likes being part of the Dallas Cowboys except for one thing: ``The Snitch.'' Owens remains upset that someone within the organization has been airing his dirty laundry. It started with a preseason report about him being late to work and continued with the story about a problem that causes him to fall asleep in meetings. Those things happened earlier this season, but the bitterness lingers. Owens told ESPN in an interview that aired Sunday that he was ``faking it |

He heads into Saturday night's crucial game against the Dallas Cowboys needing 66 yards to reach the historic figure - and he might be called on do even more running than usual with Atlanta's top two tailbacks hobbled by injuries. ``I've put all that on the back-burner,'' Vick said Wednesday. ``When you go into a gam |

Sure, Jacksonville (8-3) has those two inexplicable losses to the Houston Texans this season, but also has victories over the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. However, this week's 44-17 triumph over the Colts says something different about this Jaguars club. The lopsided win came against a team that began the season with nine straight wins and was on many people's short list to be the AFC's representativ |

| (MySportsbook) - Just when the Dallas Cowboys thought they had it all figured out, a fellow named Drew Brees rode into town and spoiled the show. Dallas had won four straight and skyrocketed to the top of the NFC East division with a two-game lead over New York and Philadelphia. However, Cowboys quarterback and savior Tony Romo was exposed, and the defense got burnt by a rookie named Reggie Bush. Romo was 5-1 as a starter and owned a NFL-best 102.4 passer rating before the game. After 60 minutes of footbal |

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -The Dallas Cowboys are taking their distinctive hole-in-the-roof design with them to their $1 billion new stadium. Only this time, the playground will feature a sliding lid to keep the elements out. That's a must considering there's going to be a 60-yard-long, 50-foot-high scoreboard hanging over the football field. With a glowing, glass facade, humongous sliding doors that can open both ends and 80,000 seats - 100,000, if necessary - the Cowboys sure are aiming for the kind of s |

Last year, he interviewed with Bill Parcells for an opening on the Dallas Cowboys staff, and he turned down an invitation to interview for the opening at Rice. ``All those were flattering,'' said Dodge, who admitted he thought the call from Parcells was a joke being played on him by a fellow coach. ``Last year about this time R |
