 At this juncture, Miles Austin made the first big play in what would be the making of the legend of Miles Austin.  He caught the ball on a slant route, broke a couple of tackles and scampered 59 yards for what looked to be the game winning touchdown with about 2:15 left in the 4th quarter.

After the last few years I’m beginning to wonder how many times I’ve thought to myself, “The Cowboys should have won that game.”  So many big games come to mind:

boys are definitely contenders, even if the passing game is suffering. 

Special honors go to Miles Austin and Felix Jones.  When Romo started playing like his normal self, he was able to connect with Austin for a 63 yard pass (that set up Barber's TD) and a 52 yard touchdown pass.  Felix Jones rushed a 60 yard touchdown in the second quarter, putting the Cowboys over the Packers permanently.
