Jerry Jones's Calling Card

By Mike Reynolds -- Multichannel News, 11/05/2007

Don’t know where you sit on the New England Patriots’ 9-0 start. But Don Shula, Dick Anderson and Nick Buonicotti had to be pulling for the Indianapolis Colts in yesterday’s Super Bowl XLI-½ battle of unbeatens in the RCA Dome, if only because Peyton Manning and crew have been down this path before -- undefeated through 13 games in the 2005 season and the first nine games of 2006.

The Hall of Fame coach and the 1972 Miami Dolphins have to be nervous about whether they’re going to get to partake in their annual ritual of uncorking a bottle of champagne when the last NFL team puts one in the L column each season. Trailing 20-10 with just under 10 minutes to play yesterday, Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and Randy Moss and the rest of the Hatriots turned it up a few notches and put Tony Dungy’s under-manned crew away.

One has to wonder what Dallas Cowboys chief Jerry Jones thought about the Pats’ comeback and their chances of finishing 19-0. New England throttled the Cowboys a few weeks back, after America’s Team took an early third-quarter lead—the only time the Pats trailed in the second half this season until yesterday. Then New England dismantled Dallas, running up a 48-27, including a one-year TD plunge with 19 ticks remaining on the clock.
