The Cowboys are looking to put the Green Bay meltdown behind them as quickly as possible. We’re still handing out stars for the effort, though TV execs may be the biggest winners of all, based on the ratings. John Fassel raves over an under-the-radar special teamer, and the loss doesn’t do too much damage to Dallas’s placement in the power rankings.
Meanwhile, roster moves bring a new wideout to town, even with Odell Beckham Jr. talk swirling, and bring in a center to replace Alec Lindstrom on the practice squad. Jerry Jones is defending his $40 million man, Anthony Barr is looking forward to facing his former mates, and Ben DiNucci gets a new shot in a new league. All that, plus the inspiring story of a Ukranian native beating the odds and overcoming personal tragedy to live out her dreams with the most famous cheerleading squad on Earth. That and more in this edition of News and Notes.
