Tony Romo (QB) – 351 yards, 2 TDs, 0 interceptions. He played with much better focus and leadership.
Miles Austin (WR) – 250 receiving yards, 2 TDs including the game winner in overtime. The 250 yards broke the Cowboy record previously set by Bob Hayes in 1966. Had he not dropped 2 earlier passes that would have been touchdowns, he would have had the perfect game.
Keith Brookings (LB) – the middle linebacker was in on 11 tackles and had 1 sack. He continues to come up with big plays. Plays smart and with some intensity.
Tashard Choice (RB) – with only 8 carries, he had 92 yards and 1 TD. With Marion Barber at less than 100 percent, Choice should have had more than 8 carries.
Defensive Line – 5 penalties for being offsides?
Patrick Crayton (WR) – Crayton had the opportunity to step up big with the absence of Roy Williams. He had 4 catches. More importantly, he set up Kansas City’s first score with a fumbled punt. Another fumble was recovered. He had at least 2 passes go through his hands.
Flozelle Adams (OT)- will he ever overcome the mindless penalties?
Wade Phillips (Coach) – see above notes on penalties. After all of the discussion this past week, the Cowboys did their best to provide Kansas City with their first win of the season. Discipline is simply missing from this team.

You hit the nail right on the head. This team has no discipline and that starts with the coach. The talent level of this team is no issue. Even the two games they lost could’ve been wins in spite of all the turnovers and penalties. This era of Cowboy history will be remembered for underachievement. What a sad legacy.
