This was a game the Dallas Cowboys had to have as they were under fire from the media all week. With Roy Williams out with rib problems, Miles Austin got the start at receiver.

What a game he would go on to have as he carried the team to victory.

TO's Replacement?

In the end, Austin may not be the complete answer to the loss of Terrell Owens, but he is definitely part of the solution. Today, Austin exploded for a team single-game record 250 yards on 10 catches and added two touchdowns.

This is the kind of production that will make Tony Romo a worthy fantasy quarterback once again. In the past few weeks, Romo had struggled to get the ball in the end zone and maybe Austin is the missing piece.

Only time will tell, but fantasy football owners should run to the waiver wire and pick this guy up.

Tashard Choice Runs Hard

Dallas is lucky to have three solid running backs and Tashard Choice has been a valuable weapon for this season. Against the Chiefs, Choice had only eight rushes, but had 92 yards and a big touchdown run.

Choice will hurt Felix Jones's fantasy football ranking as he should be involved more, even when Jones comes back.

Chiefs Lose a Heart Breaker

The Chiefs are getting close to winning ball games. Fantasy football owners with Dwayne Bowe must have been happy to see him produce a touchdown and solid yardage.

Look for Bowe to be a good contributor and for the Chiefs to continue their hard play.
