COWBOYS
Flop In 4th!
The Cowboys were able to stop a much depleted San Fransico 49ers teams to give them the momentum needed to meet a dangerous (0-3) Oakland Raider team. If the Cowboys expect to make the playoffs, they will need to stop Randy Moss of the Oakland Raiders because he will show no mercy towards the Dallas secondary when they meet in Oakland on October 2nd. The Raiders are 1-5 in total games and have fallen to Super Bowl Champs New England 3020, NFC Champs Philadelphia, and Kansas City to open their season at 0-3. As for the “Triplets”, Aikman, Smith, and Irvin led the Cowboys to three Super Bowl victories and were the first players to be inducted since Jerry Jones, owner, took over the Cowboys. “I can’t write my life story without Emmitt and Troy. We’re tied together forever,” added a teary-eyed Irvin.
