Because they couldn't just handle playing on one major holiday, the Dallas Cowboys traveled to play the Arizona Cardinals on Christmas Day. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie got Arizona on the board first with his 32 yard interception return off of Cowboys quarterback Jon Kitna. Jay Feely provided the extra point on this touchdown, and also on the Greg Toler interception return of 66 yards for a touchdown, giving the Cardinals an early 14-0 lead. Dallas got on the board in the second quarter when David Buehler kicked a 42 yard field goal. Arizona answered with a John Skelton touchdown pass of 74 yards to Andre Roberts, and Feely adding the extra point again. Kitna finally threw a touchdown for Dallas with his 2 yard pass to Jason Witten. Buehler added the extra point late in the second quarter, and kicked a 53 yard field goal in the third quarter. Making it a 21-20 Cardinals lead was Marion Barber's 24 yard touchdown run and Buehler's extra point. Jay Feely made it 24-20 with his 49 yard field goal for the Cardinals. Stephen McGee then connected with Miles Austin to give the Cowboys a lead, but the score stood at 26-24 after the 37 yard touchdown because Buehler missed the extra point, allowing Jay Feely to come in and save the day with his 48 yard field goal with 5 seconds remaining, and giving the Cardinals a 27-26 victory over the Cowboys. Both teams were at 5-10 at the conclusion of the game.
For those of you curious, I will be working on football tomorrow, with seven games early and the five late games plus the Sunday Night Football game mashed into one post. Also, there are eleven hockey games tomorrow, so expect everything to be caught up by Tuesday. I have been feeling a bit under the weather, which has caused me to be a bit slower with these posts, but hopefully I'll be better next week.
