The scrappy Dolphins entered JerryWorld and threatened to upend the Cowboys’ hopes of taking the NFC East, but found a way to let the Cowboys squeak by with an important victory.  Matt Moore (291 total yards, 1 TD) was fairly efficient and avoided costly turnovers in the face of an intense Cowboys pass rush.  Tony Romo (224 total yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs) made a few mistakes throughout the game, but in the end led the Cowboys down the field on a last minute march to the game winning field goal.


Brandon Marshall (5-103, 1 TD) came up bit for the Dolphins when they needed him most, including catching a beautiful rainbow of
a pass from Moore for a 35 yard TD.  Marshall rebounded nicely from only a single catch a week ago, and hopefully will round into consistent form for the fantasy playoffs.  Brian Hartline (4-77) had a nice game for a change, while no other Dolphins receiver was noteworthy.

Miles who?  Laurent Robinson (7-79, 2 TDs) is starting to look more and more like the best receiver the Cowboys have, which was unthinkable a couple of months ago, and has earned at least a timeshare with Austin when he comes back, which is problematic for owners of both players.  Dez Bryant (3-35) was silenced as he was the focus of the Dolphins secondary, and Jason Witten (4-43) also had a fairly quiet game for him.

Reggie Bush (16 car., 61 yards; 3 rec., 35 yards) had a workman-like day as the primary rusher for the Dolphins against a fairly stout rush defense.  Bush’s injuries through the years have robbed him of the breakaway speed he used to have, but he’s developed into an effective runner between the tackles in return, and undoubtedly will be an important piece for fantasy playoff teams that have been hurting at the RB position this year.

Demarco Murray (22 car., 87 yards; 4 rec., 41 yards) was stopped up for most of the day against the Dolphins’ defense, but he still managed to gather in over 120 total yards.  Murray is an every week play, regardless of position and Felix Jones’ (1 rec., 4 yards) health.
