Cowboys' offense gets back in gear vs. Raiders
It was over when ...
(Tony Gutierrez / Associated Press)
Bruce Gradkowski's pass to Louis Murphy sailed incomplete with 1:54 to play, ensuring there would be no miracle comeback for the Raiders this week. Dallas controlled most of the game and was never in serious trouble.
Game ball
Miles Austin got his groove back. The receiver had disappeared over the past couple weeks as the Cowboys' offense went into a slump, but he caught seven passes for 145 yards and a touchdown as Dallas got things rolling again offensively.
Key Stat
The Cowboys are at their best when they are able to generate big plays on offense. They did that repeatedly against the Raiders, finishing with 8.8 yards per play.
