First Quarter Notes: Dallas vs Eagles

On the first play of the game, Marcus Spears hammers McNabb who fumbles. Dallas recovers and starts on the 37 yard line. On a 3rd and 6 Terrell Owens is wide open and gains 23 yards to the Eagles 10. On 3rd and Goal at the 2 yard line Julius Jones walks into the end zone for a touchdown. This is just the second first-series touchdown for the Cowboys all year. Dallas leads 7-0.

The Iggles come right back and score a touchdown on some atrocious pass defense--Thanks Jacque Reeves. Game is tied 7-7.

For their second offensive series, Dallas on 3rd and 3 gives it to Julius Jones who barely gets a first down. This series quickly turned into the Marion Barber show. He makes two great catches, one for 22 yards, and then a 16 yarder. Romo, who is having a perfect game, then dumps a pass to third-string TE Tony Curtis for a touchdown. Dallas leads 14-7. Romo is 7 for 7 with 1 touchdown.

Philly is driving at the end of the first quarter down by a touchdown.
