Sunday's Sports Update

Tamara Jolee / KETK News — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:41:51 -0600

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips says officials told him that they made a mistake trying to review a fourth-quarter fumble that appeared to be recovered by Felix Jones before being scooped up by the Packers.

With Dallas trailing 10-0 with just under 12 minutes to go, Tony Romo fumbled on a late blitz by Packers CB Charles Woodson. It appeared Jones recovered the ball, rolling over with it when Packers DT Johnny Jolly ripped it out of his arms. Packers linebacker Clay Matthews III later recovered it at the Cowboys 3.

Tamara Jolee / KETK News — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:45:52 -0600

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Now the Dallas Cowboys can forget about last season's awful finish.

Tony Romo threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Miles Austin midway through the fourth quarter and the Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 20-16 Sunday night in the 100th meeting between the division rivals.

On the final day of the 2008 regular season, the Eagles dominated Dallas 44-6 in a do-or-die game for both teams. Philadelphia earned a wild-card berth with that victory, won two playoff contests on the road and advanced to the NFC championship game, losing at Arizona.
