ARLINGTON, Texas - Maybe Dallas Cowboys special teams coordinator John Fassel was dropping a hint last week when meeting with the media. In acknowledging the New England Patriots do a lot on special teams that an opponent needs to be ready for, Fassel also dropped a "so do we."
After Leighton Vander Esch 's 11-yard fumble return for a touchdown, the Cowboys called on a fake extra point try. Noting New England's crashing rusher off the edge, holder Bryan Anger was able to find Chauncey Golston in the flat, giving the defensive lineman the clear opportunity to run it in for two points and an 18-3 lead with 11:09 left in the first half.
