24 sep 10 Cowboys licking their wounds following loss to Bears

The Chicago Bears would have you believe they knocked some intimidation into the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
The Bears prevailed 27-20 at Cowboys Stadium and there were some big hits, particularly downfield. What was the damage? Well, it’s hard to say if it was the result of specific big hits, but the Cowboys listed wide receiver Dez Bryant(notes) on the injury report today, saying he did not practice as the result of football jerseys
a rib injury. Tight end Jason Witten(notes) reportedly suffered a concussion in the game as well.
Witten is expected to play on Sunday, and he practiced today. Meanwhile, the Bears hope they’ve put some shots on film that will strike fear in future opponents. One of the biggest shots was delivered by linebacker Lance Briggs(notes) on wide receiver Roy Williams, who held on for a catch and popped back up quickly.
“The thing we want to do is when guys come across the middle, we just want to make sure that they know they’re going to get hit,” free safety Chris Harris(notes) said. “We’re going to try to punish you for catching the ball if you catch it. That’s kind of the mentality we want to have.
“That’s one thing that (defensive coordinator) Rod Marinelli is kind of San Francisco 49ers jersey
bringing back here, that whole Monsters of the Midway thing. We’re buying into it. We just want to send a message that if you come across the middle, you’ll get hit. We definitely want to have a swagger about us, a demeanor, a little nastiness to us.”
The New England Patriots made it official today, placing running back Kevin Faulk(notes) injured reserve with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Drafted in the second round in 1999 out of LSU, Faul, 34, has been a prolific third-down back.
He's the Patriots’ all-time leader in all-purpose yards (12,247) and kickoff return yards (4,098) as well as the franchise’s all-time leading return specialist with 5,030 combined return yards (4,098 kick return yards and 932 punt return yards).
He ranks fifth in Patriots history in rushing yards (3,550), fourth in receptions (424), tenth in pass receiving yards (3,667) and sixth in total punt return yards (932).
Faulk recorded the longest non-touchdown kickoff return in team history when he covered 95 yards on a return against the New York Jets in 1999.
For his career, he has played in 154 games and has accumulated 3,550 yards rushing on 847 attempts for a 4.2-yard average with 16 touchdowns, caught 424 passes for 3,667 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns, returned 181 kicks for 4,098 yards and two touchdowns and returned 99 punts for 932 yards. He is one of just six NFL players this decade to total 3,000 rushing yards and 3,000 receiving yards (Tiki Barber, Brian Westbrook(notes), Marshall Faulk, Michael Pittman(notes) and LaDanian Tomlinson).

Faulk is the Patriots’ all-time leader in receptions by a running Chicago Bears jersey
