Quick Thanksgiving day recap

Dallas took care of the Raiders today with a plethora of big-time plays. Felix Jones had a 46-yard run for a touchdown. Miles Austin had almost 150 yards receiving with a touchdown. Romo threw for more than 300 yards. Marion Barber had a long catch-and-run. Jason Witten had his best game of the year -- 5 catches for 107 yards. Roy Williams caught a touchdown pass. Oh yeah, and the defense gave up just 7 points. It probably would've been 10 if Oakland had decided to kick a field goal from deep in Dallas territory in garbage time at the end of the game (they instead tried to go for it, and failed).

The Raiders are no great team, but they're supposed to have a really great defensive secondary. Apparently nobody told that to Austin or Witten, who ate the Raider defense alive all day long.

It was a solid win, and for the first time since playing Philadelphia three weeks ago the Dallas offense looked like it knew what it was doing. Now the Cowboys head into December, the month in which they've struggled for years, with an 8-3 record. Their last five games include the Giants, Saints, Chargers, Eagles, and Redskins. I'm guessing that 11-5 will win them the division (which would mean 3-2 the rest of the way), but 10-6 would still put them in the playoffs (2-3 the rest of the way). I'd like to think that both of those are very doable, but if recent history means anything, I'm none too confident!
