Fourth-down calls show Jason Garrett's trust, players' belief in him

ARLINGTON, Texas -- When it was still a game, still a doubt whether the Dallas Cowboys could shake their three-game losing streak, still a doubt whether he would be the coach for the full season, Jason Garrett didn't blink.

Facing fourth-and-1 from the Dallas 49 with 11 minutes and 15 seconds left in the second quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, Garrett didn't think about punting. The offense never left the field.

"We needed to convert that and continue to have confidence in our guys," Garrett said.
