ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Miles Austin caught a touchdown pass for the third straight game and Patrick Crayton returned a punt for a
score for the second consecutive week, sending Dallas past the
Seattle Seahawks 38-17 and into a share of first place in the NFC
East on Sunday.
Tony Romo went a third game in a row without an interception.
Since a herky-jerky first month, the Cowboys (5-2) have found quite
a groove, winning three straight, setting up a showdown next Sunday
night against the co-leading Eagles in Philadelphia.
Romo threw for 256 yards, with touchdowns to Austin, Sam Hurd
and Roy Williams. Marion Barber added a TD run and Crayton broke
the game open with an 82-yard punt return, one week after a
game-breaking 73-yarder. DeMarcus Ware had a sack for the third
straight game.
