Cowboys: Week 6 & 7

Week 6 results: 0-5
L vs Pittsburgh 20-12
Eddie George 18 car 36 yds
Billy Cundiff 4/5 fgs

This was perhaps the turning point for the Cowboys season. We finally played a good game, and didn't make big mistakes. 1 INT, that wasn't taken advantage of by the Pittsburgh. The only bad thing, was that we couldn't convert in the red zone, having to settle for fieldgoals instead of touchdowns. Couldn't stop Pittsburgh on their last drive that led to the touchdown and the 8 point deficit. Game ended on a 4th and goal slant pattern to Keyshawn that went incomplete in the endzone with :30 remaining.

Week 7 results: 1-5
W at Green Bay 23-20
Vinny Testaverde 13-25 147 YDS 1 TD 1 INT
Eddie George 25 CAR 60 YDS
Quincy Morgan 10 REC 123 YDS 2 TD

Easily the Cowboys best game of the season. We held the Packer's offense in check, and was able to deliver a steady running game to ease the passing pressures for the Qbs. Vinny is out for 4 weeks, got knocked out of the game, but Henson did an admirable job in relief. The only reason for the close score were these 2 unbelievable interceptions the Packers defense did, consecutively that both were returned for TDs.. Both were tips, that bounced to a free defensive player. However our defense was on today, and held steady, giving Henson one last opportunity and he succeeded with the game winning drive TD pass to Quincy Morgan, who pretty much equaled his season marks in this 1 game.
