29 shoutsDallas (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.

This game was such a dissapointment in all areas especially coaching!! Why they were not covering receivers on the last drive,..what were they thinking? It was looking so good for the defensive, the int's, fumble recoveries...you had to go out of your way to loose that game!!! Jouron should have been fired!

Very entertaining game ! Up until this point many of the NFL match ups have been absolute blowouts and as such quite boring, but last night was awesome and great fun to watch.
5 picks and a fumble and you're still able to hold it togethe and lead your team back for the win. Nicely done !! And what's this crap that all the Coaches are pulling,..calling a "timeout" at the last second before a field goal in an attempt to "ice' the kicker?!?!!?! Man, that's lame !!!! That's almost as lame as ekabrazi trying to become MMA competitor. Now his WIFE can kick some serious butt !!! I would hate to get into a cage with her !!! Professional woman with two kids (three counting ekabrazi) who works her ass of with a two hour commute. Yeah, she's NOT someone you want to piss off,...and she apparently can make some kick ass MLB/NFL/NCAA picks. At least she's not a "Poser",....er,....excuse me "Poseur" !!!
