Cowboys Rock Thanksgiving Day

It was a typical route of the New York Jets. You got what you expected on that one. It doesn’t matter that the Jets found a way to dismantle the Steelers last week. This is this week, and the Cowboys are for real. With Terry Glenn out for most of the season and Patrick Crayton missing in action due to an ankle sprain, the Cowboys were looking pretty lean at the wide receiver position.

Terrell Owens and Sam Hurd got the start at wide out. After that, though, who’s left? Some third or fourth string guys we’ve never heard of. Not to bag on those guys, though. We’ve seen quite a few somebodies emerge from the ranks of the nobodies around the league.

Even with such a shortage of wide receivers, Romo had a good game and the defense contributed a few sacks and an interception for a touchdown. But it’s next Thursday that really matters, folks. That’s when the top two NFC teams face off for what will likely amount to home field advantage in the playoffs. Brett Favre is having the best season of his career, and the Packers are perhaps the biggest surprise in the NFL thus far.

Both Cowboys and Packers are sitting pretty at 10-1. If the Cowboys can pull this next week’s win off against an inspired Packers team, they’ll have a much better chance of making it to the Big Show in Arizona. I haven’t seen a Cowboys Super Bowl appearance in so long, my tongue goes numb in anticipation.

Keep your fingers crossed and your coolers charged.
