The 2007 Dallas Cowboys season is now into its fourth week with some teams looking for their first win and other teams looking to continue their undefeated streak. The Dallas Cowboys fall into the latter category as they get ready to tackle the St Louis Rams this weekend in pursuit of their fourth straight victory.
The Dallas Cowboys started off the 2007 season by winning at home against the New York Giants 45-35. The high scoring game finished with six touchdowns and 478 yards for the Cowboys. Tony Romo threw four touchdown passes averaging 23 yards on his 15 completions. On the other side, the New York Giants posted four touchdowns and 448 yards. It was a game in which the offenses ruled.
Following their opening win the Dallas Cowboys next faced the Miami Dolphins. Once again the Dallas Cowboys offense proved to be formidable as they defeated the Dolphins, in their home opener, 37-20. The Dolphins looked to be hanging in tough against the Cowboys as they took a 13-10 lead on the first drive of the second half. The Cowboys strong offense however could not be contained. In the third quarter Tony Romo threw to Tony Curtis for a touchdown and the Cowboys took a 17 to 13 lead and never looked back. Romo finished the day with two touchdown passes and as the team's second leading rusher. Owens led the Dallas receivers with five catches for 97 yards and Barber rushed for 89 yards on 14 carries.
Week three of the season saw the Dallas Cowboys facing the 2006 Super Bowl finalists, the Chicago Bears. The Cowboys would prove to be victorious again with a 34 to 10 lopsided win. The Bears appeared to have their problems with their quarterback throwing three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. The Cowboys offense was on target again as they scored the game's final 24 points on three touchdowns and a field goal on their first four possessions of the second half. Tony Romo threw for 329 yards and two touchdowns.The Cowboys defense also proved to be on their game holding the Bears to just ten points.
This weekend the Cowboys will take on the St Louis Rams who have started the 2007 season with three losses. Since the Rams moved from Anaheim, Calif., to St. Louis in 1994, the two teams have played each other only three times. In 2002 the Cowboys beat the Rams in St. Louis, and in 2005 and 2006 the Rams defeated the Cowboys at Texas Stadium. This Sunday the Dallas Cowboys look to change their run against the Rams at home as they vie for their fourth straight victory to open the 2007 season.
