The Dallas Cowboys looked very strong against a bad Seattle Seahawks on Thanksgiving Day.
The Dallas defense swarmed Matt Hasselback, sacking him seven times in the 34-9 victory. The seven sacks were the most the Cowboys had collected in a game in over a decade.
DeMarcus Ware collected three sacks and now leads the league with 15.
The defense also continued its great red-zone defense, limiting the Seahawks to three field goals.
The offense played well from the beginning, something they have been struggling to do. Romo found Martellus Bennett in the first quarter for Bennett’s third straight game with a touchdown. The young rookie out of Texas A&M has been a welcomed edition, especially with Jason Witten suffering from a broken rib.
Romo kept everyone happy and found both Witten and Owens often. Romo has sparked the offense in only ways he can. It’s amazing to think this is the same team that lost to the Rams earlier in the season.
Late injuries to Ware and Marion Barber don’t look to be serious. The Cowboys need Barber to be healthy not only for his rushing offense but for his pass blocking skills. The Steelers will test the pocket and blitz heavily if Barber isn’t able to go.
The Cowboys looked good against a bad team. The still have things to prove and have a hard remaining schedule. The Cowboys did what they were supposed to do today, beat up a bad team. They will have to continue to play like this to make the playoffs.
