(4-2) ATLANTA 21
(4-2) DALLAS 37
The Cowboys forced three turnovers and Dallas receiver Miles Austin showed why many are considering him as the team’s number one receiver. Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was picked off twice, that’s now four interceptions in the last two games, but still managed to throw for two scores. Ryan was also sacked four times.
It was Austin’s show however, as the Dallas receiver caught six balls for 171 yards and had two touchdowns, one coming on a 59-yard catch and run. Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo also had a good game going 21 of 29 on the day for 311 yards, three touchdowns and no picks.
Atlanta comes to the Superdome next Monday to face the Saints.
(3-4) BUFFALO 20
(2-4) CAROLINA 9
The Jake Delhomme era in Carolina could be coming to an end. Delhomme was picked off three times and now has 13 interceptions on the season, as the Panthers committed four turnovers as a team. Statistically the Panthers dominated the game outgaining the Bills 425 yards to just 167 for Buffalo. Carolina was a mess fumbling a punt and missing two field goals.
Carolina head coach John Fox said following the game that he will evaluate the film and decide if Delhomme starts next week when the Panthers travel to Phoenix.
(5-2) NEW ENGLAND 35
(0-7) TAMPA BAY 7
It was anything but a jolly good time for the Bucs in London as Tampa Bay turned the ball over three times and remained winless. The Buccaneers have now lost 11 games in a row dating back to last season. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was 23 of 32 for 308 yards, threw three touchdowns and two picks.
Tampa’s defense is now 27th in the NFL. New England on the other hand is getting scary good and are starting to play like the team that won 16 regular season games just two years ago. The Pats have outscored their opponents in the last two games 94-7.
The Buccaneers have a bye this week and then host Green Bay on November 7.
