Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is coming off a game where he turned the ball over five times (5 interceptions and 1 fumble).  The Buffalo Bills were also able to return two of those interceptions for touchdowns and also added a 103-yard kickoff return.  But there is one very important stat that I have yet to mention.  Final score: Dallas 25, Buffalo 24.  That comeback victory was highlighted by four field goals from the Cowboys rookie field goal kicker Nick Folk, including a game winning 53-yarder as time expired.  The win set up an undefeated showdown with the new look Patriots, who have yet to appear to break a sweat in a game.

Even though Romo passed the ball to the other team a career high five times, he did still manage to pass for over 300-yards, the fourth time this season.  On the year he still has a very respectable 93.9 passer rating and has passed for 13 touchdowns.  If anything, Romo showed that he has great composure, which he will need every ounce of when he takes on New England.  The running back duo of Julius Jones and Marion Barber III have both ran the ball nearly the same amount of times (63 Jones, 56 Barber), but Barber has done the majority of the damage, scoring four times while averaging six yards per carry.  Terrell Owens has cooled off the last couple of weeks after starting off with three touchdowns in the first three games.  In the last two games combined he has caught only six balls for 58 yards.  The Cowboys would love for him to heat back up in time for the Pats.  The recent production of Jason Witten has been an added bonus.  Against the Bills he had over 100 yards receiving and a touchdown.

The New England Patriots became the fourth team in history to start their season by beating each opponent by 17 or more points.  They have also scored at least 34 points in each of their outings, while only giving up 65 points on the year.  Tom Brady is completing just fewer than 75 percent of his passes, a pace that would break an all-time record if he can keep it up.  With that accuracy you would expect the gaudy numbers he has put up, 16 touchdowns on just two interceptions.  As of right now, Tom Brady is at the top of the heap when it comes to MVP candidates, and everybody else is on ground level.  Brady’s new favorite target, Randy Moss, has 34 catches for 551 yards and seven touchdowns.  Complementing Moss well is Wes Walker, who has made 27 catches and a TD.
