The seven games this season tie the 1986 and 1988 teams for the second-most games with four-or-more sacks. Dallas had nine games with four-or-more sacks in 1985. Dallas now has 45 sacks on the season - one behind its total from last season. Kevin Burnett had a third quarter sack - his first sack of the season.

He accounted for 166 of the club's 289 total net yards. Jason Hatcher picked up his first sack of the season in today's game. Terrell Owens caught a 12-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to mark his third consecutive game with a receiving touchdown - his longest streak of the season. With his 32 yards today, Owens now has 13,918 for his career to pass Cris Carter (13,899) for sixth all-time Jay Ratliff added to his single-season career-high with his seventh sack of the season.
