Steven and Jeff fondly remember the woopin the Cowboys placed on the Redskins on Monday Night Football. Dan Bailey went 6-6 giving the Cowboys an 18-16 victory and he won special teams player of the week honors.
Steven asks the Cowboys to win by a big margin, as they play another close game making it nine straight games, an NFL record and three more than any team in history, that the Cowboys have been involved in a contest decided by three points or less.
Redskins Brian Orakpo is not impressed with Romo’s tough guy impersonation as he tells ESPN that the media “they blown it way out of proportion. I mean, they tried to make it seem like the guy was hospitalized the night before the game, just so we could build it up if they was to win the game.” The guys tell Orakpo what they think of those comments.
In a franchise first, linebacker Sean Lee was awarded NFC Defensive Player of the Month as the guys say that Lee has been all over the field leading the team with with 36 tackles, 2 interceptions, two fumbles recovered, three pass deflections and 1 tackle for loss.
Finally, the guys look ahead to mighty the Mighty Detroit Lions. Steven says they have to neutralize Calvin Johnson and not allow Best to catch passes out of the backfield as he feels that the Cowboys have had problems covering the screen pass. Jeff says the Cowboys needed to continue to feed Felix Jones the ball and pound Detroit with the running game.
