Titans and Dallas Football Last Week
vs 
How 'Bout Them Cowboys!
(Sports Network) - The Dallas Cowboys knocked off the last unbeaten team in the NFL on Sunday, but don't crown them kings of the NFL just yet.
Dallas pulled out a hard-fought 21-14 win and saddled the Indianapolis Colts with their first loss of the 2006 season. Indy entered Texas Stadium 9-0 with studs Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne among those dreaming of being a part of the NFL's first undefeated team since 1972.
It was Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo who spoiled the plot, rallying his team to victory from a 14-0 deficit. Dallas improved to 6-4 with its second straight win, and moved into a first-place tie in the NFC East with the New York Giants, who lost on Monday night at Jacksonville. Chicago has the best record in the NFC at 9-1, followed by five 6-4 teams in the Giants, Cowboys, Panthers, Saints and Seahawks.
"It's big," Romo said of the win. "We've been trying to get ourselves going with a little momentum here for a while. We needed this win badly."

An "Ugly" Titans Win?
By Jim Brighters, NFL Contributing Editor
(Sports Network) - When one team is 2-7 and heads into the building of a team many consider a playoff team in the NFC, one expects the outcome to be obvious.
Tennessee's 31-13 romp over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, in the City of Brotherly Love, was shocking to most in tune with the NFL. The Eagles were 5-4, playing in their own building, but the Titans prevailed with some old- school football.
"It was brought to my attention, that in the last six games, we are leading the NFL in rushing," head coach Jeff Fisher said Monday afternoon. "We knew we had to get that part of the game going."
Once again, the offensive star for the Titans was running back Travis Henry. He carried the ball 18 times for 143 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown run.
He was not the only rusher that accumulated some serious yards on the ground. Quarterback Vince Young rushed six times for 49 yards, and LenDale White had eight carries for 17 more yards.
Pretty astonishing how Henry has come on since he was a healthy inactive earlier in the season. That ""dis"-honor now falls on Chris Brown, who hasn't played since Daylight Savings Time took effect.
"All Travis has done since this offseason is work," said Fisher. "He's just kept his mouth shut and worked, and he had a lot to prove. He's certainly proved it."
