11/22 — If the Jets are going to win this game, it would have to be the third-largest come-from-behind effort in franchise history. And after the Jets go backward on their first drive, it doesn't look promising.
Following a big Ben Graham punt — he's had mostly a good day — the Cowboys start to move again. Then Dewayne Robertson, despite being held by LG Kyle Kosier, barges up the middle and takes down Tony Romo for a 15-yard loss. Decline the penalty and take the sack, the fourth D-Rob has been in less than two full games.
On the next drive, at least Kellen Clemens is resourceful. As he's being chased toward the left side line on third down, he knows he's got to unload, so he does throw the ball away — left-handed. But while that may score style points in the QB meeting room, it's the Jets' fourth three-and-out series of the day. Graham's punt goes OB at the Dallas 48. More great field position for the 'Pokes.
The Cowboys told CBS in their production meeting that they thought TE Jason Witten would have a big day. He already had one second-quarter TD catch, and it appeared he was open for No. 2.
But Hank Poteat, who picked Witten up on the third-down blitz, is in position to make a PD with the back of his helmet on Tony Romo's underthrown ball, so the Cowboys have to settle for Nick Folk's first field goal of the game, just over the crossbar from 46 yards, so with 17½ minutes left to play on Turkey Day, the Jets fall behind by three touchdowns again.
Cowboys 24, Jets 3
The Jets go 1-2-3-kick for the fifth time, and now Dallas is content to nibble away, with first-down passes from Romo to Terrell Owens — on his first catch since the opening drive; Darrelle Revis, matched up with T.O., has done OK — Julius Jones and Jason Witten. The Cowboys eat up the final 4:46 of the third quarter moving from their 20 to the Jets 35. Indigestion ahead.

This is rediculous nothing is working at all, another wasted week. The stars must have been aligned last week to get that win. What a miserable year I feel bad for T. Jones he's trying but you can't run when your oline doesn't block."
