Cowboys CB Orlando Scandrick picked off the first pass of his career on a telegraphed throw from Falcons QB Matt Ryan in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 37-21 win over Atlanta.
Tashard Choice appears to have lost his spot in Dallas’ running back rotation, seeing just one catch and no carries in the win.
The Cowboys started Sunday’s game in a two-tight end set, with Austin as the lone wide receiver on the field.
Cowboys coach Wade Phillips excused his players from team meetings Monday to reward their big victory.
Atlanta’s 16-point loss to Dallas was the worst defeat of Mike Smith’s tenure as Falcons head coach.
Falcons RB Michael Turner indicated that he believes his low yards-per-carry average (3.4) is more the result of Atlanta’s run blocking than tired legs.
Current Cowboys and former Falcons LB Keith Brooking admits that he was talking trash to his ex-teammates during Sunday’s game.
Falcons QB Matt Ryan took four sacks Sunday, including two from Cowboys OLB DeMarcus Ware, after avoiding sacks entirely in his previous four games.

They aren’t who we thought they were!
Atlanta was outplayed in every aspect of the game last night. Hopefully the streak of not losing back to back games since the beginning of last season will hold up…wait we’re playing the Saints…They will CRUSH us! This team is still rebuilding and NOT ready to contend yet. Gonzalez was a waste of money! Is it just coincidence that last year we had 2 GREAT blocking tight ends and were 2nd in the league in rushing while this year we are like 25th in the league? Matt Ryan should change his name to MAtt Ryan Leaf!!! I love my team but SO pissed about how we can’t reach that 2nd level of competitiveness!!!!
Great. What do you do when an undisciplined team wins? Give them a day off. What leadership. Parcells would be all over them for all the drive-killing penalties on Sunday.

And the Tuna got better results out of Dallas? If option A didn’t work, maybe Wade’s option B will.
Hey PFT, I missed the one liner about all the punts that the Atlanta punter bounced off the scoreboard. There were a few of them weren’t there? That is all we heard on Saturday was how THIS was the kicker that could do it.

So what? Parcells hasn’t won a playoff game in over a decade! bwaha
“So what? Parcells hasn’t won a playoff game in over a decade! bwaha”
And Wade hasn’t won one since… ever.
“And Wade hasn’t won one since… ever.”
Phillips took the same guys that Parcells won 9 games with and won 13 games with them.

Gotta be careful how you talk to Li’l Voxie.
Say something to hurt his feelwings and he’ll claim you’re stalking him.
LMAO.
Such a feeble little imagination.
I want to like Vox because he’s a Cowboy fan, but seriously, why do you keep coming here and commenting when seemingly everyone here hates you? It baffles me.
They don’t hate him. They’re hating on the Cowboys cuz we’re America’s Team….I got you, Vox.
