SEATTLE LAST GAME

The Dallas Cowboys fought their way to their first overtime winsince December 2012 and now boast a 4-1 record after their 20-17 victory over the Houston Texans Sunday afternoon. Bothteams were determined to pound the ball with the running game,rushing for a combined 108 yards on 26 carries in the first half.Dallas was moving the ball up and down the field on several longdrives in the first half, but turned the ball over and could not capi-talize until late in the second quarter with a 33-yard Dan Baileyfield goal, which would be the only score of the first half for bothsides.

Houston opened the second half with its best drive of the game,riding a couple long Arian Foster runs and timely Ryan Fitzpatrickthrows down the field in six plays and finishing with a 15-yardFoster rushing score to take the lead. The Cowboys immediatelyanswered the Texans score, capitalizing on some Tony Romomagic as he nimbly escaped a J.J. Watt sack and connected withTerrance Williams on a 43-yard bomb in the end zone. Dallasscored again in the fourth quarter, capping off a short four-playdrive set up by a 38-yard Dwayne Harris punt return with a two-yard Romo-to-Bryant touchdown pass and taking a 10 point leadwith under 10 minutes to go in the game. The Cowboys defensecould not hold the lead however, and after a Randy Bullock 29-yard field goal, Houston marched down the field and scored on aFoster one-yard run with 41 seconds remaining. Dallas had anopportunity to end the game in regulation, but Bailey missed along field goal try at the end of regulation.

The Dallas defense stopped the Texans opening drive in over-time, and the Cowboys offense didn’t give Houston anotherchance as they marched down the field and Bailey redeemed him-self with a 49-yard boot to win the game.

ROLLING ON T-DUB’SDrafted in the third round (74th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft

out of Baylor, Terrance Williams came to Dallas as a big-body,strong receiver with the ability to stretch the field. He started toemerge as the player the Cowboys were counting on as the rook-ie finished with 44 catches (fourth on the team, 10th amongleague rookies) for 736 yards (third on the team, third amongrookies) and five touchdowns (third, tied for fourth among rook-ies). His 16.7 yard-per-catch average was third among rookieswith at least 10 catches, and his 82-yard touchdown (vs. Denver,10/6) tied for the sixth-longest catch in the league this season.

From Week 5-8, Williams had a touchdown catch in eachgame, the first time in team history a rookie had a streak of fourgames with a touchdown reception. He is the fifth differentCowboy rookie with a streak of three:

The motivation for a stronger running game with DeMarco Murrayis evident as the club is 15-1 when DeMarco Murray gets 20-or morecarries. He topped 20 carries three times in 2013, and started the2014 season with 22 carries against San Francisco (9/7), but theclub suffered its first loss when Murray had at least 20 carries.Murray and the Cowboys quickly went back to the well at Tennessee(9/14) where they were rewarded with 29 carries as the club wonagain to move to 12-1. Murray then carried 24 times at St. Louis(9/21) and against New orleans (9/28) as the team moved to 14-1with two more victories. He then recorded a career-best 31 carriesagainst Houston (10/5) marking five consecutive games with 20-or-more carries to establish a career-best whhile also tying the eighth-longest streak in franchise history as the team won and moved to 15-1:

over the previous five seasons, Dallas’ single-season sack highwas 42 in 2011. Helping that total were the four sacks the club hadin the first half of the game at Arizona (12/4). It was the 11th time inteam history the team had four-or-more first half sacks, and the firstsince having five against Baltimore (12/20/08).

The Dallas defense produced one sack against San Francisco(9/7) with Bruce Carter’s takedown of Colin Kaepernick. Thedefense doubled their performance with two in its next game atTennessee (9/14) as Rolando McClain gathered one and HenryMelton and Kyle Wilber split the other sack of Jake Locker. Dallashad two sacks against New orleans (9/28), with Melton takingdown Drew Brees while Jack Crawford collected his first careersack when he helped foil a fake punt and took down punter ThomasMorstead.

For the 2014 season, the Dallas defense has five sacks.

SACK ATTACK

Rolando McClain, the former eighth overall pick in the 2010NFL Draft by the oakland Raiders, joined the Dallas Cowboys viatrade from the Baltimore Ravens on July 1, 2014. In each of hisfirst three seasons (2010-12) with the Raiders he compiled over85+ tackles, finishing in the top-five amongst oakland’s top tack-lers each year. overall, he compiled 274 stops, 6.5 sacks, 11 tack-les for loss and an interception in 41 games with 38 starts.

Following his release by oakland on April 5, 2013, he signed aone-year contract with Baltimore on April 12, but retired from theNFL on May 15 and was out of football for the 2013 season.McClain was reinstated from the Reserve/Retired list on April 14,2014, but abruptly retired once more on April 23. However, uponhis trade to Dallas, he was reinstated and particpated in trainingcamp and the preseason with the Cowboys where he finished fifthon the defense with 11 tackles and a forced fumble.

Due to McClain’s strong play in the preseason, he earned thestarting role at middle linebacker for the 2014 season. In his firstgame action since his last game with oakland on Nov. 25, 2012,he started at middle linebacker for the Cowboys against SanFrancisco (9/7) and led the team with 12 tackles - tied for the sec-ond-highest tackle total of his career - and a quarterback hurry. Hefollowed that up leading the team in tackles once more atTennessee (9/14) with 10 stops while also adding a sack, tacklefor loss, his second career interception and a pass breakup. Hemissed the Week 3 game at St. Louis (9/21) due to a groin injury.

Through the first five games, McClain leads the Cowboysdefense with 35 stops.

ROLANDO’S NFL RETURN

The Dallas Cowboys defense has stood strong early in the 2014season, posting four shutouts that currently ties for 25th in team his-tory during a single season. The 1973 defense had the most with 10total shutouts in either the first or second half.

Despite being behind 28-3 by halftime against San Francisco(9/7), the Cowboys defense responded in the second half by notallowing a single point in either the third or fourth quarters. It wasthe unit’s first shutout of an opposing team’s defense in the sec-ond half since against Buffalo (11/13/11). The last time a Cowboysdefense had shutout an opponent’s offense during either half incame in 2013 during the first half at Philadelphia (10/20) wherethe scoreless streak extended through the first three quarters.

The Cowboys defense continued their shutout streak into theirnext game at Tennessee (9/14), holding the Titans offense score-less in the first two quarters. The defense also limited Tennesseeto 68 total offensive yards in the first half, two first downs and didnot allow a successful third-down conversion. Though Tennesseescored in the third quarter to break up the shutout, the defensecontinued to stifle the Titans offense on third downs, holding themto two-of-10 (20.0%) overall to finish the game.

Dallas’ defense pitched another shutout against New orleans(9/28), holding the Saints scoreless in the first half to mark the thirdtime this season the defense held an opposing offense scoreless ina half. The defense also limited New orleans to 114 total yards andseven total first downs in the first two quarters. The squad then heldHouston (10/5) scoreless in the first half to mark the fourth shutout.

SHUTTING OUT EACH HALF

Barry Church made his mark on the Cowboys defense in 2013,turning in a team-leading and career-best 147 tackles, bouncingback after missing the majority of the 2012 season after sufferinga ruptured Achilles tendon three weeks into the season. Churchposted eight games with 10-or-more tackles in 2013 - most on thedefense - including a career-high 17 at New orleans (11/10/13).

Church’s 147 tackles in 2013 were the third-most by a Cowboyssafety, and the 11th most overall by any Cowboys defender, dat-ing back to 1989:

CHURCH IN SESSION

The Dallas Cowboys recorded their first two takeaways of theseason at Tennessee (9/14), as both Barry Church and RolandoMcClain intercepted Titans passer Jake Locker. Church’s intercep-tion in the second quarter marked the first takeaway of the year,and the second of his career. McClain made an acrobatic snag ofLocker’s pass in the fourth quarter to register as the second of hiscareer. The Cowboys added a season-high three takeaways at St.Louis (9/21) behind a Henry Melton fumble recovery and intercep-tions by Bruce Carter and Morris Claiborne - both in the fourth quar-ter to help clinch the win. The defense forced three more turnoversagainst New orleans (9/28), with Justin Durant collecting an inter-ception of Drew Brees while J.J. Wilcox picked up his first careerfumble recovery and Sterling Moore added one as well. TheCowboys had one takeaway against Houston (10/5) on an orlandoScandrick interception of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

GAME-WINNING KICKSIn his rookie season, Dan Bailey was called upon six times to win

or tie the game with his foot. Four times he came through for Dallas.Bailey’s four game-winning field goals were the most by a DallasCowboy in a single season and the most by a rookie in NFL history.

In 2012 Bailey had four opportunities to do the same, and hecame through in three games including two in overtime.

He added one game-winner in 2013 with a 35-yarder at the N.Y.Giants (11/24).

After missing what would have been the game winning 53-yardkick at the end of the fourth quarter against Houston (10/5), Baileyimmediately redeemed himself in overtime as he drilled a 49-yarderfor the game-winner and his first of the 2014 season.

In team history, there have now been 38 instances in which akicker was true on a game-winning field goal with 2:00-or-less leftin the fourth quarter or in overtime.

Bailey has rang true with nine game-winners - and a franchise-best five in overtime - to pass Rafael Septien for the most in teamhistory:

RETURN POLICYThe Dallas Cowboys feature one of the league’s most accurate

kickers, as the former 2011 undrafted free agent has hit true on99-of-109 field goals for his career for a 90.8 percentage mark.During that time, Dan Bailey has challenged some of the fran-chise’s longest consecutive field goal records, including 26 in arow in his first season to tie the second-longest streak in team his-tory and mark the longest streak of field goals made by a rookiein team and NFL history. He then hit 21 in a row in between hissecond and third seasons (2012-13) - the third-longest in teamhistory.

However, after that streak was snapped, Bailey quicklyembarked on a new field goals streak in 2013 and extended it intothe 2014 season. He opened the season with one field goal madeagainst San Francisco (9/7) to extend his streak to 22 straight fieldgoals made and move to the third-longest streak. Bailey then hitall four of his tries at Tennessee (9/14) to extend his field goalsmade to 26 in a row, tying Chris Boniol (1995) and his 2011 totalfor the second-longest streak in team history. He had two fieldgoals at St. Louis (9/21) to reach 28 in a row and pass Boniol’s1995 total of 27 to establish the longest streak of field goals madein team history. He continued that streak up to 30 successful kicksbefore missing a 53-yarder against Houston (10/5):

This has helped contributed to the team’s current four-game winstreak - the longest win streak of Jason Garrett’s head coachingtenure and the longest since the team had four straight wins in2011 (11/6 - 11/24).

PERSONNEL BREAKDOWN -- OFFENSE

After spending the first four yearsof his NFL career as a backup quarter-back, Tony Romo was thrust into thespotlight, taking over the starting rolemidway through the 2006 season. Injust 10 games, Romo led the team to a6-4 record and a playoff berth. Hisovernight sensation earned him his firstcareer Pro Bowl selection. He returnedas the full-time starter in 2007 and established then franchise marksfor completions (335), passing yards (4,211) and touchdowns (36)among several others. He also led Dallas to a franchise record tying13-3 finish and its 20th division title.

In 2008, despite being injured for three games, Romo finishedhis second full season as a starter with 3,448 yards (12th in theNFL) on 450 attempts for a rating of 91.4 (eighth in the league)despite missing three games with a fractured pinkie finger on histhrowing hand.

In his third full season asa starter in 2009, Romoeclipsed 15,000 careerpassing yards, became thefifth Dallas passer with 100career touchdown throwsand finished the season asthe only quarterback in fran-chise history to be on thefield for every snap fromcenter. With Romo at thehelm, the club secured itssecond NFC EastChampionship over the pastthree seasons (2007) - 21stoverall and 17th NFC Eastcrown - and led the team toits first playoff win in 13years with a victory over

Philadelphia in the Wild Card Playoff Game. In 2010, Romo dealt with his most significant injury after a frac-

tured clavicle suffered in the Monday Night Football Game againstthe N.Y. Giants (10/25) forced him to miss the next eight games andultimately the rest of the season when the team placed him on theReserve/Injured list on Dec. 21. Before attempting his last pass ofthe season, he was well on his way towards another solid year with1,605 yards on 148-of-213 passes (69.5%) with 11 touchdowns andseven interceptions and a quarterbackrating of 94.9. He also surpassed 2,000career attempts (2,070) to become onlythe fifth Dallas passer to do so andestablished a club record with 18 con-secutive games with a touchdownpass. Before his injury in the sixthgame of the season, Romo’s five-gamepassing yard total of 1,556 yards wasthe highest yardage output during thefirst five games in a season in team history.

Romo closed out 2011 with one of the best statistical seasonsof his career. He completed 346 passes (second in his career) on522 attempts (second) with a 66.3 completion percentage (second)for 4,184 yards (third), 31 touchdowns (second), 10 interceptions(second fewest in at least 10 games played) for a career-best102.5 passer rating. He was third in the league in completion per-centage, fourth in passer rating, fifth in touchdowns, seventh inyards, tied for eighth in completions and 11th in attempts.

The 2012 season was no different as the starter threw for aclub-record 4,903 yards (fourth 4,000-yard season) while also set-ting marks for attempts (648) and completions (425) with 28 touch-downs. He finished the season second in the league in completions,third in attempts and yards, fifth in completion percentage and sixthin touchdowns. He also became the first Cowboy to attempt 600-plus passes and complete at least 400. Romo became the eighthdifferent NFL passer to go at least 400-of-600 in a season.

Romo again had one of his best statistical years, finishing 2013completing 342-of-535 (63.9) passes for 3,828 yards with 31 touch-

A staple in the Cowboys offense virtually since the day he wasdrafted, Jason Witten led the charge at tight end. With his selectionto his seventh consecutive and overall Pro Bowl in 2010, Witten hasmade more appearances than any other tight end in club history. Headded his ninth career Pro Bowl as an alternate following the 2013season. In finishing his 11th pro season, Witten is one of the mostprolific tight ends in league history and one of the top receivers infranchise history. He has strung together 10 consecutive seasonswith at least 50 catches (one-of-two tight ends to accomplish the feat)and 10 of 60 catches (one-of-three to do it). He has topped 70 catchesin a season eight times, 80 catches in a season six times, and in four

straight (2007-10), and has tallied atleast 90 catches in a season fourtimes - tied for the most by a tightend in league history. He finished2012 with an all-time NFL tight endrecord 110 catches while also sur-passing Michael Irvin (750) for theteam’s top receptions spot.Additionally, he has led the teamin receptions seven times throughhis career, including six straight(2007-12).

Witten burst onto the scene asa pass-catching threat in just his

second season (2004) with a then club tight end record 87 catch-es and 980 yards with six touchdowns. His receptions and yardagetotals slipped a little in 2005 (66 for 757) but his touchdown totalrepeated itself (six). More receiving threats emerged in 2006 as hisreceiving totals from the previous season were virtually mirrored(64 for 754), but he again bounced to the forefront in 2007 with ateam tight end record 96 catches for 1,145 yards - the first 1,000-yard season in team history by a tight end and a then career-bestseven touchdowns.

Witten finished 2008 with 81 catches for 952 yards with fourtouchdowns but again topped 90 catches (94) and 1,000 yards

(1,030) with two touchdowns in 2009. The 2010 season was also amirror from the previous season as he caught 94 passes (topsamong league tight ends) for 1,002 yards and a club tight endrecord tying nine scores. He became the fifth tight end in leaguehistory (Kellen Winslow Sr., Todd Christensen, Shannon Sharpeand Tony Gonzalez) to post consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Healso became the second tight end to have back-to-back 90-catchseasons (Tony Gonzalez).

In 2011 Witten paced the club for the fifth straight season, and sixth overall, with his 79 catches. He also led the team with 942yards - his fifth straight, sixth overall, season - with at least 900yards and was fourth with five touchdown catches.

Witten closed out his 10th season (2012) with a team-best andall-time NFL tight end record 110 catches for his fourth 1,000-yard season (1,039 - second on the team) and three touchdowns.

In Week 1 of 2013, Witten became the second Dallas Cowboy(Irvin) and third league tight end (Gonzalez and Sharpe) to reachthe 9,000-yard milestone. He finished the season second on thesquad with 73 catches, 851 yards and eight touchdowns.

on a 34-yard catch in Week 5 of 2014 against Houston (10/5),Witten reached 10,000 career receiving yards to become the sec-ond Cowboy and third tight end in NFL history to reach that mark.

A model of durability, Witten has played in 179 of a possible180 games, missing just one with a broken jaw in 2003. For hiscareer, he has 898 catches (tops in team history) for 10,014 yards(second). His 52 career touchdown catches are good for third. Hehas the top-five single-season receiving yards totals by a tight endin club history, seven of the top-10 and is only the second Dallaspass catcher to reach 8,000, 9,000 and 10,000 career receivingyards.

He did it in his 180th career gameto become the second-fastest tight end to reach 10,000 careerreceiving yards.

With a strong emphasis on the two-tight end set in Dallas, theCowboys picked up a big target capable of stretching the field andwinning one-on-one matchups when they drafted Gavin Escobarout of San Diego State in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft.Escobar collected nine passes for 134 yards and two touchdownsas a rookie.

Escobar @ Tennessee (9/14): Caught his first pass of theseason for five yards.

The Dallas Cowboys have made their offensive line a priorityin the NFL Draft, using three of their past four first round draftchoices in the trenches. The trio of first round draft choices in ProBowl left tackle Tyron Smith (2011), center Travis Frederick(2013) and right guard Zack Martin (2014) has laid the foundationfor one of the most talented offensive lines in the NFL. Joining themon the front are Doug Free at right tackle and either Mackenzy

Dallas also returns Sterling Moore - acquired via NewEngland’s practice squad in 2012 - and 2014 undrafted rookie freeagent Tyler Patmon (oklahoma State) as both look to vie for moreplaying time in the defensive backfield in 2014.

Moore @ Tennessee (9/14): Totaled five tackles, a tackle forloss, two pass breakups and a forced fumble.

Moore vs. New Orleans (9/28): Made three tackles, two passdeflections and recovered a fumble.

Moore vs. Houston (10/5): Had four tackles.At safety, former 2010 undrafted free agent Church returned in

2013 from an achilles injury that saw him miss most of 2012 and setcareer-bests in almost every category, registering a team-leading147 tackles, five tackles for loss, six passes defensed, three forcedfumbles and his first-career interception.

Church vs. San Francisco (9/7): Made four tackles and apass breakup.

recoverd his first career fumble.Wilcox vs. Houston (10/5): Posted six tackles and his first

career quarterback hurry.Behind the starters will be second-year pro Jeff Heath, who

filled in admirably for Wilcox when he was out with injury in 2013while posting 60 tackles, an intercpetion and a fumble recovery for atouchdown while starying nine games. Veterans Jakar Hamilton -who will miss the first four games of the season due to being placedon the team’s Reserve/Suspended list - and C.J. Spillman, whowas acquired off waivers from San Francisco during final cuts, will alllook to provide depth at the position.

Dan Bailey, a 2011 rookie free agent from oklahoma State,solidified his place as Dallas’ placekicker following two impressiveseasons. Bailey finished his rookie season 32-of-37 (86.5%) onfield goals for the third-best percentage by a Cowboys rookie orfirst-year kicker while his 32 made were fourth among NFL rookiekickers all-time. Along the way, he drilled 26 consecutive field goaltries to tie Chris Boniol for the second-longest streak in club history.He did not miss a beat in his second season, finishing second inclub annals with a 93.5 (29-of-31) field goal percentage.

Bailey finished 2013 28-of-30 (93.3) on field goals and all 47PATs. Through his career, Bailey has rang true on 99-of-109(90.8%) of his field goal tries and all 138 of his PATs.

Bailey vs. San Francisco (9/7): Connected on a field goaland two extra points to move past Michael Irvin (392) for the fifth-most career points in team history with 395. Bailey’s field goalallowed him to up his consecutive field goal streak to 22 games tobreak a tie with his previous streak of 21 consecutive field goalsmade (2012-13) and move his current streak up to the third-longestin team history.

Bailey @ Tennessee (9/14): Was perfect on all four field goaltries (48, 44, 51, 48) and both of his extra points. Bailey’s fieldgoals moved his consecutive games with a field goal up to 26 to tieChris Boniol (1995) and his own 2011 streak for the second-longeststreak in team history. His four field goals marked his 16th careergame with three-or-more - second in team history - and was alsohis fourth game with four-or-more field goals to tie Boniol for themost in a career in team history. Bailey’s point total gave him 409for his career to become the second kicker (Rafael Septien - 874)in team history to reach 400 total points, and the sixth overall play-er to do so.

Bailey @ St. Louis (9/21): Was successful on both field goalsto up his consecutive field goal streak to 28 to move past ChrisBoniol (1995) to establish the longest consecutive field goals madestreak in team history. Bailey also hit all four of his extra points toreach 131 for his career and tie Nick Folk for third on the team’s all-time list.

Bailey vs. New Orleans (9/28): Extended his streak of con-secutive field goals made to 29 games after hitting a 51-yarder.Was also successful on all five extra points to break a tie with Folkfor sole possession of third on the team’s all-time extra pointsmade list.

Bailey vs. Houston (10/5): Was two-of-three on field goals,missing a 53-yarder late in the fourth quarter to conclude his con-secutive field goals made streak at 30, the longest in team history.Bailey then hit the game-winning 49-yard field goal in overtime togive him his ninth career game-winning kick - fifth in overtime andthe most in team history.

The Dallas Cowboys maintained stability at punter this seasonas Chris Jones returned healthy. Jones was named the punter for2012 but suffered a knee injury that eventually landed him onReserve/Injured. In 2013 Jones punted 77 times for a gross of45.0, net of 39.1, long of 62 and 30 downed inside the 20.

The strong-footed southpaw has 115 punts with a 45.1 grossaverage, 39.6 net average, 45 punts downed inside the 20 and along of 62 yards on his short resumé (27 games).

Jones vs. San Francisco (9/7): Punted twice for a grossaverage of 52.5 and a net average of 46.0, with a long of 56 yards.

Jones @ Tennessee (9/14): Had four punts for a career-high-gross average of 55.0, a net average of 45.0 with a punt downedinside the 20-yard line, two touchbacks and a career-high tying 62-yard long punt.

KICKING GAME Jones @ St. Louis (9/21): Punted two times for a gross aver-age of 39.0, a net average of 38.5 with a long punt of 45 yards.

Jones vs. New Orleans (9/28): Had four punts with twodowned inside the opponent’s 20-yard line with a gross punt aver-age of 41.5, a net average of 37.8 and a long punt of 53 yards.

Jones vs. Houston (10/5): Booted away four punts for agross average of 46.3 and a net average of 38.8, with one puntdowned inside the 20-yard line and a long of 50 yards.

Deep snapper Louis-Philippe Ladouceur signed with Dallasprior to their Week Four contest at oakland in 2005 and has beensolid and mistake-free on 655 punts, 286 field goals and 403 PATs since joining the team.

on kickoff and punt returns, Dwayne Harris will look to buildon the success he had last season.

Harris stole the show as a returner in 2013, leading the teamin punt and kick returns and finishing in the top-three in the NFL inboth categories, returning 20 punts for a 12.8-yard average andreturning 28 kicks for a 30.6-yard average. He also added a 90 yardpunt return-touchdown, the fourth-longest return in club history, andlooks to return kicks again in 2014.

Lance Dunbar, Cole Beasley and Joseph Randle will likelysee some time returning kicks and punts in 2014, while DezBryant, who has returned two punts for touchdowns and owns acareer 9.1 return average, provides depth behind Harris.

Harris vs. San Francisco (9/7): Returned two kickoffs for 58yards to move his career combined return yardage to 2,046 tobecome the 12th player in team history to reach 2,000 career kick-off and punt return yards. Also had two punt returns for no yards.

Harris @ Tennessee (9/14): Had one punt returned for 15yards.

Harris @ St. Louis (9/21): Made three kick returns for 74yards.

(12.0 avg.) and two kickoffs returned for 53 yards (26.5 avg.)

The Cowboys boast solid coverage units while returning amajority of their top tacklers including Jeff Heath (13), who led theclub in special teams tackles in 2013, and other top performersDwayne Harris (12) and Cameron Lawrence (12).

The special teams coverage unit should also see major contri-butions from vetran additions C.J. Spillman and Korey Toomer,and rookie newcomers in linebacker Anthony Hitchens and cor-nerback Tyler Patmon.

vs. San Francisco (9/7): Bruce Carter provided the game’sonly special teams stop for Dallas.

@ Tennessee (9/14): Harris led the squad with four stops, fol-lowed by two from Joseph Randle and one each from Heath,Patmon and Spillman.

@ St. Louis (9/21): James Hanna, Harris, CameronLawrence, Spillman and Kyle Wilber all posted one tackle.

vs. New Orleans (9/28): Harris and Heath each had one solospecial teams tackle.

vs. Houston (10/5): Hanna, Harris, Heath, Patmon, Spillmanand Wilber all contributed a special steams stop.
