IRVING, Texas (AP) -This is how serious Bill Parcells is taking the Dallas Cowboys' stretch drive: He cut inconsistent kicker Mike Vanderjagt on Monday. Hailed as the answer to the Cowboys' kicking woes when signed in March, Vanderjagt wasn't living up to his statistical claim to fame as the most accurate kicker in league history. He was only 13-of-18 on field goals, a 72.2 percent success rate that was the lowest of his nine-year career. Vanderjagt also didn't like having to kick off, one of many aspe |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -More than ever, the Dallas Cowboys need the old Bill Parcells, the one who used to coach the Giants, Patriots and Jets. At all three stops, Parcells had an amazing knack for making his teams better as seasons went along. Whatever problems they had the first three months, he usually found answers by the time Thanksgiving came. That's how he won two Super Bowls with the Giants, got the Patriots to one and came a win away with the Jets. The Cowboys haven't had anywhere near that kind o |

Eli Manning struggled once again for the Giants (6-5), who have dropped three straight to fall one game behind the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East. His two fourth-quarter interceptions led to 10 Tennessee points, three of which were the winning points. The third-year signal-caller ended 18-of-28 for 143 yards with one touchdown.

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Bill Parcells still isn't impressed with everything Tony Romo does. Even after Romo threw for 306 yards and matched a team record with five touchdowns to lead the Dallas Cowboys to their third straight victory, Parcells talked first about the scoring pass the NFL's top-rated quarterback missed Thanksgiving Day. ``He drove that first pass to Terry (Glenn), the long one down the sideline. If he puts a little air under that, then we have a chance to score right there,'' Parcells said. |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -In only his fifth career start, Tony Romo tied a Dallas Cowboys record with five touchdown passes Thursday against Tampa Bay. Romo threw the five TD passes in a span of six drives, the last one putting the Cowboys up 35-10. The record-tying score was a 7-yarder to Terrell Owens, which the receiver capped by depositing the ball into one of the Salvation Army red kettles being used as a prop for the charity's annual holiday fund-raising campaign.
