Dallas could easily be 0-1 after a thrilling Sunday night, come-from-behind victory against the Giants. Tony Romo, often criticized for coming apart in clutch situations, led a game-winning, 80-yard touchdown drive with just more than a minute on the clock after some questionable play calls from the G-Men. It wasn't all positive though, as wide receiver Dez Bryant was lost for significant time with a broken foot.
The receiving load will be approximated between Cole Beasley, Terrance Williams, and running back/receiver Lance Dunbar. Head coach Jason Garrett said it is impossible to replace Bryant with one person. "There will be a receiver who plays in the place of Dez Bryant," Garrett said. "You use different personnel groups and you just go play football."
The Eagles lost their opener despite an impressive second half. New running back DeMarco Murray, who led the NFL in rushing in 2014 behind Dallas' offensive line, had an odd stat line; he rushed eight times for nine yards, but he scored a rushing and receiving touchdown.
"It was a little surprising," Murray said. "But we have a lot of weapons. A lot of individuals need to get the ball. As long as we're winning, I'm fine with it."
