Marion vs. Julius, Part 9

The Cowboys and Seahawks both welcomed back their regular starting quarterbacks, with the hopes that the offenses would get back on track. One team did, the other, not so much.

Tony Romo’s return to Cowboys allowed Marion Barber to be more of a threat running the ball and did it ever show. Barber finished the game with 114 yards on 24 carries with 1 touchdown and added 39 yards on 6 receptions. Barber’s running was crucial late in the game against the Redskins as he was able to lead the way in grinding out the clock for a 14-10 victory in Washington.

Meanwhile, in Seattle, Matt Hasselbeck returned to the Seahawks, but the results weren’t quite the same as they lost to the Cardinals 26-20. Julius Jones had another day to forget as he rushed 10 times for just 19 yards, caught a pass that was good for -5 yards and lost his first fumble of the season. For the Seahawks’ sake, hopefully Jones is able to work out whatever issues he is having in the offense.

This Sunday, the Cowboys are at home for a high-noon showdown with the 49ers while the Seahawks host the Redskins.
