| Irving, TX (Best E Casino) - Jason Witten, a rookie tight end for the Dallas Cowboys, underwent surgery to fix a broken jaw suffered in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Witten, picked by Dallas in the third round of the 2003 draft, was injured when he was tackled by two Arizona defenders after a reception. Although his jaw will not be wired shut, it is highly unlikely that Witten will be available for this Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. |

"This ends our quarter [season] and our goal each quarter is 3-1; that is what I emphasized to them," Fassel said. "Plus it is a home game and I think those are important to win.

| score on 11 attempts in the win. Veteran Duce Staley, who received the bulk of the carries in the first two games, garnered only two attempts. Reid insists its simply a case of the game plan that kept Staley on the sidelines. "In this case, it basically came down to personnel groups and what we felt would be most effective against Buffalo," said Reid. "So we'll continue to do what we think is best for the offense to move the football." UP NEXT: The Eagles hit the road to battle the Dallas Cowboys next week. |

"I think I improved on the things I wanted to coming from the Minnesota game to this [past] week," said Harrington "I didn't make the stupid decisions. I didn't make the decisions that I wished I could have back. I played a turnover free ball game, which is what I need to do to put our team in a position to win -- especially on the road." UP NEXT: The Lions have a bye week coming up followed by a home tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. |

| (Best E Casino) - Prior to the 2002 campaign, few could have imagined Emmitt Smith taking the field without a blue star on his helmet. Smith had spent a dozen glorious years with the Dallas Cowboys and it appeared that he would retire before ever leaving Big "D". Smith's 13th campaign with Dallas wasn't so smooth, though, as rumors were abound that he would be hung out to dry and not brought back after surpassing the all-time rushing record. The murmurs came to fruition down the stretch and Smith's attempts |

You could see a visible energetic boost when Marcus was in there." The Cardinals must shutdown the Rams' running game and force them to be one dimensional. If Arizona keeps Lamar Gordon under wraps, it can pins its ears back and go right at Bulger with a variety of blitzes. UP NEXT: Arizona remains on the road to battle the Dallas Cowboys next week. |
