D
allas (2-2, 1-1 V) was on their bye week in Week 5. In Week 4 they lost to Detroit 30-34, at home. QB Tony Romo and the Cowboys continued to show there's no lead and no deficit too big for them. They blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead for the first time in franchise history in the opener. Romo finished 34 of 47 for 331 yards, with three touchdowns. The Cowboys secondary took the opportunity to heal up. Now, the cornerback trio of Mike Jenkins, Terence Newman and Orlando Scandrick are healthy for the first time this season. In order to take this opportunity to get an edge on the competition the Cowboys must answer some questions. Can Romo overcome himself to lead the Cowboys to victory? Can Felix Jones be productive?
New England (4-1, 2-0 H) beat the New York Jets 30-21, at home, with a vastly improved defense, in Week 5. QB Tom Brady had another strong game, completing 24 of 33 passes for 321 yards and one touchdown as the Patriots scored at least 30 points for the 13th consecutive regular-season game. RB Green-Ellis had 27 carries and scored two touchdowns, and WR Deon Branch added one. Wes Welker had a huge day catching five times for 124 yards. The Patriots QB Brady faces pass-rushing star DeMarcus Ware on the same field where the New York Jets sacked Brady four times. But every hit the NFL's reigning MVP takes could threaten his health and the team's welfare. And Ware, who already has five sacks in four games, is the defender most likely to smack him. "He can get after a quarterback as good as anyone we play," Brady said Wednesday. "If he gets going early, he's going to be a problem all day, so we've got to make sure we really account for him on every play." Patriots left guard Logan Mankins knows he and his fellow blockers can't afford another performance like the one against the Jets. Two of the four sacks came in the last two minutes of the first half. In the first four games, Brady was sacked a total of just four times. That's the kind of blocking the Patriots would like to see again.
