Per Seattle Times:
A change in coaches is all the Dallas Cowboys needed to play like — well — the Cowboys of old.Give interim coach Jason Garrett credit, for at least one game.
Jon Kitna, a former Seahawk and Central Washington player, passed for 327 yards and three touchdowns and the Cowboys looked revitalized with Garrett running the team in a 33-20 victory that served as a reality check for the New York Giants on Sunday.
“I thought the intensity was there in all three areas,” Garrett said after a game that featured two power outages in the new $1.6 billion stadium, one that left about 81,000 fans in total darkness for a couple of seconds. “Guys were fighting for each other. We were challenged in all areas and I think we stepped up.”
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones gave the game ball to Garrett and the Cowboys (2-7) snapped a five-game losing streak against the Giants (6-3).
“The timing is more important than what it means specifically to the future,” Jones said. “It’s a good time to have a good feeling, we needed it. The players needed it and our fans needed it most of all. But it’s just that, a feel good.”
