So, What Did I Miss?

So, just at kickoff, the Internet in our Texas Stadium press box broke. Or something. Let's catch up: *Cowboys' fans started an "Eagles Suck!" chant before kickoff. Proud of you guys. Really. *Terence Newman did start after all. But so did Pacman. Roy Williams, notsamuch. Hmm. *Kicker Nick Folk's kickoff...

So, just at kickoff, the Internet in our Texas Stadium press box broke. Or something.

Let's catch up:

*Cowboys' fans started an "Eagles Suck!" chant before kickoff. Proud of you guys. Really.

*Terence Newman did start after all. But so did Pacman. Roy Williams, notsamuch. Hmm.

*Kicker Nick Folk's kickoff sailed out of bounds, then the Cowboys got flagged for holding on their initial kickoff return. It's early, but the Cowboys' special teams suck worse than Michael Phelps on Saturday Night Live.

*Lito Sheppard got toasted on Terrell Owens' 72-yard touchdown to make it Dallas 7-3. Tony Romo's pump fake was subtle, yet apparently effective. Only flaw in the play was the fact that Owens celebrated by chest-bumping Rowdy.

*That blur was Felix Jones, gone on a 98-yard kickoff return. Take that, Darren McFadden.-- Richie Whitt
