				<title><![CDATA[Cowboys overcome six turnovers in thrilling comeback win]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[ORCHARD PARK, New York (Ticker) -- The Buffalo Bills waited 
over 13 years to play on Monday Night Football.  Their fans may
need that long to recover from this game.

The Dallas Cowboys survived a club record-tying five
interceptions from quarterback Tony Romo - and got a 53-yard
field goal from rookie kicker Nick Folk as time expired, in an
unbelievable 25-24 victory over the Bills on Monday.

Buffalo (1-4), which last played on Monday Night Football when
current Cowboys coach Wade Phillips was leading the Denver
Broncos in 1994, was able to collect six turnovers in all,
including two of which were returned for touchdowns to help the
Bills gain and sustain the lead throughout the game.

But Dallas (5-0), who ironically led the league with a
plus-seven turnover margin entering the game, benefited from
some opportunistic plays in their favor during the last half of
the fourth quarter.

"I can't say enough about the character of our team," Cowboys
coach Wade Phillips said.  "We made way too many mistakes, we
almost gave it away but we took it (at the end).  I want to
enjoy this one.  This was a great win.  It put us at 5-0."

Trailing, 24-16, with 3:45 remaining, Romo directed a 12-play,
80-yard drive that ended with a four-yard TD pass to Patrick
Crayton with 24 seconds remaining.  The ensuing two-point
conversion failed when Romo's pass attempt towards receiver
Terrell Owens was broken up in the end zone by cornerback Jabari
Greer.

The Cowboys lined up for an onside kick and were able to recover
on the next play, due in large part to the efforts of backup
tight end Tony Curtis, who inadvertently knocked the ball ahead
after it had traveled 10 yards.  Curtis eventually was able to
cover the ball at the Dallas 41.

After a booth review of the recovery, Romo hit Crayton and
running back Marion Barber III to move the team into field goal
range.  Folk, whose previous career high was from 47 yards out,
converted the 53-yard attempt to seemingly end the game.

However, just before the kick, Bills coach Dick Jauron called a
timeout to ice Folk.  The strategy did not save Buffalo, as the
rookie from Arizona nailed his second attempt, sending the
Cowboys sideline into joyous celebration.

"You can't call him a rookie anymore," Crayton said.  "The stuff
he has been doing - nerves of steel.  He is just a calm kicker.
And then you make him kick it twice.  What is he, a hundred
percent so far this season?"

"I said to Tony Romo on the sideline, wouldn't it be amazing if
we won this game," Phillips said.  "Then we didn't make the
two-pointer, but our kicker just did a great job, hit two
straight 53-yarders and an onside kick."

Conversely, it was the second heartbreaking home loss for the
Bills, who loss in Week One to the Denver Broncos, when Jason
Elam hit a 42-yard field goal as time expired.

"(It was) the second painful loss on the last play of a game
(for us),"  Jauron said.  "They played their hearts out; we just
didn't make enough plays.  We needed one more play to win it
and we didn't get the play...It hurts and that one hurt."

The comeback victory overshadowed what was a dreadful game for
Romo, who tied Troy Aikman's club record for most interceptions
in a single game.

After Julius Jones was stuffed on back-to-back downs on Dallas'
first possession, Romo sailed his first pass of the game well
over the head of Jason Witten into the waiting hands of
defensive back George Wilson, who returned the errant throw 25
yards for the first touchdown of the game and a 7-0 lead.

Perhaps still stinging from Buffalo's quick strike, Romo's
second throw - also intended for Witten - was intercepted on a
spectacular diving catch by linebacker Angelo Crowell and
returned five yards to the Cowboys 44.

In the second quarter, the Cowboys' quarterback was intercepted
yet again, this time when Bills defensive end Chris Kelsay
deflected Romo's pass attempt around the Dallas 4.  The
deflection went high into the air and straight back into the end
zone, allowing Kelsay to run under the ball for Buffalo's
second score, sending the Bills to a 17-7 advantage.

Romo's dreadful first half continued on the next possession when
Greer leaped in front of a pass intended for receiver Sam Hurd
at the Dallas 42.  With his four interceptions in the first
half, Romo became the first quarterback to throw four
interceptions in a half since Chicago Bears quarterback Kyle
Orton did so on September 25, 2005, against the Cincinnati
Bengals.

For the second time in the first half, however, the Bills could
not convert on Dallas' turnover, making the questionable
decision to attempt a 54-yard field goal.  Lindell's kick sailed
wide right with 36 seconds remaining, leaving the ball at the
Buffalo 44 for the potent Dallas offense, which entered the game
as the league's best.

Romo, who finished 29-of-50 for 309 yards and two touchdowns,
took advantage of Buffalo's prevent defense at the end of the
half, leading Dallas down the field 25 yards to get in place for
a 47-yard field goal by Folk as time expired in the first half
to trim the deficit to 17-10.

After Folk's field goal on the opening drive of the second half
cut the Bills lead to 17-13, starting cornerback Terrence McGee,
who had returned four kickoffs for TDs in his career, went
virtually untouched 103 yards for the Bills third non-offensive
TD of the contest, extending their lead to 24-13.

"That really helped us out," McGee said.  "I especially wanted
to get something started on special teams because it's been
awhile since I've gotten into the end zone so just helping the
team out like that felt real good...I thought that really was
the boost we needed to finish the game off."

Dallas answered with Folk's third field goal, a 37-yarder, to
cap an 11-play, 73-yard march that helped the Cowboys' make it a
one-possession game.

The Bills went three-and-out on their next possession, but
benefited from Romo's fifth turnover of the night.

As Romo eluded the Buffalo pass rush and broke free up the
middle, defensive end Aaron Schobel stripped the Cowboys'
quarterback and defensive tackle Kyle Williams recovered the
ball at the Dallas 48.

After Edwards, who finished 23-of-31 for 176 yards, threw his
only interception of the evening as the Bills looked to close
out the Cowboys midway through the final period, Romo tied a
dubious club record with five interceptions in a single game
with 6:05 remaining.

However, Buffalo was unable to run out the clock, setting the
stage for the incredible comeback.

"Well, (Romo) didn't throw a sixth (interception)," Phillips
said.  "He had a rough night but he kept battling back.  We
still believe in Tony; he's our quarterback and he made a couple
plays at the end."

The six turnovers the Bills collected in this contest were one
more than the team had forced in their first four games
combined.  They also became the second team in league history to
lose a game in which they returned two interceptions and a
kickoff for touchdowns.

"A lot of guys in there (are) hurting," McGee said.  "We made
too many big plays to lose that game.  It was a very exciting
Monday Night game but, with all the big plays we made, it just
seemed like we had it won but that's football.  It's not over
until it's over.  We left everything out on the field.  I think
overall, we did a good job."]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Dallas (4-0) at Buffalo (1-3) Monday 8:30 pm EDT

ORCHARD PARK, New York (Ticker) - The Buffalo Bills host their
first Monday night game in 13 years when the unbeaten Dallas
Cowboys visit Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Buffalo has not graced the Monday night stage at home since a
27-20 victory over the Denver Broncos on September 26, 1994. The
Bills have played nine Monday night games since, the last at
Indianapolis Colts on December 11, 2000.

The prime time appearance will be quite a challenge since the
Cowboys are one of four unbeaten teams along with the Colts, New
England Patriots and Green Bay Packers.

Dallas is 4-0 for the first time since 1995, the last time it
won the Super Bowl.  The Cowboys are seeking their first 5-0
start since winning their first seven contests in 1983.

"Four-and-oh is nice," Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. "It
doesn't put us in the Super Bowl, it doesn't put us in the
playoffs. But it's good that we're there."

The Cowboys' start could be attributed to an offense that is
averaging a league-best 37.8 points.  Dallas has scored at least
34 points in each contest.

Tony Romo has been the ringleader of the offensive assault. He
has thrown for 1,199 yards and 11 touchdowns with three
interceptions.

Last Sunday, Romo accounted for four touchdowns (three passing,
one rushing) in a 35-7 rout of the St. Louis Rams.  He threw for
339 yards, his third straight 300-yard game.

Under rookie Trent Edwards, who will make his second career
start, the Bills may be hard-pressed offensively to keep up with
the Cowboys.  Buffalo ranks 31st in scoring offense, averaging
just 10.3 points.

Edwards, playing in place of J.P. Losman (knee), did make a
successful first start in last Sunday's 17-14 win over the New
York Jets.  The third-round pick completed an efficient 22-of-28
passes for 234 yards and a touchdown with an interception.]]></description>
