The Dallas Cowboys just showed their full potential on Week 3 as Tony Romo and his boys squashed the New Orleans Saints 38-17 at AT&T Stadium, capping a night full of NFL action. On Monday, another interesting match-up will unfold when the New England Patriots play the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Cowboys seem to be back in winning mode after several years of dormancy with another spectacular victory over the Saints on their home turf.
Romo, arguably the most chastised quarterback in league history, came out to play as he went 22-for-29 for 262 yards and three touchdowns in the match. Running back DeMarco Murray also joined the fun with 149 rushing yards and two TD scores.
The victory put the Cowboys on a two-game winning streak and improved their season-record to 3-1 for a share of the top of the NFC East standings with the Philadelphia Eagles (3-1).
Meanwhile, intra-state rival Houston Texans were also on a roll Sunday as they held on to a 23-17 victory over the Buffalo Bills at NRG Stadium. Ryan Fitzpatrick covered 268 yards with one TD while defensive end JJ Watt had an 80-yard TD interception in the match.
Arizona Cardinal continued to bring misery to the San Francisco 49ers after cruising to a 23-14 win. Drew Stanton recorded 244 passing yards with two scores to backup Tonny Jefferson's 10 tackles in the match. (Full Week 3 NFL scores and highlights are available on NFL Red Zone and NFL ESPN)
Patriots vs. Chiefs
Monday night football will feature two teams with unlikely start into the season, with the Patriots struggling to live up their juggernaut offensive entity while the Chiefs becoming more of a running team as quarterback Alex Smith seem to be in a funk.
The Patriots (2-1) have always been a very explosive offensive unit, but their performance this season showed the team is on a free-fall with Tom Brady only covering 632 yards with three TDs through three weeks. Thanks to their much-better defense, the Pats are still a force to be reckoned with, but the Chiefs certainly have a shot at taking a win on their home stadium.
ESPN will cover Monday night football game between the Pats and the Chiefs starting at 8:30 p.m while Live Streaming feed is available on NFL Red Zone, ESPN Watch and Sports Stream. Scores, Play-by-Play and Boxscores can be followed on ESPN NFL.
