The much-beleaguered Cowboys defense was able to harass Titans quarterback Jake Locker all day in sacking and intercepting him twice.
Locker would finish the day by going 18-of-34 for 234 yards passing and one touchdown.
RGIII Injured, Cousins Leads Redskins to 41-10 Romp Over Jaguars: In a game in which Robert Griffin III would injure his ankle, backup quarterback, Kirk Cousins would come off the bench to throw for 250 yards and two touchdowns in a Washington Redskins (1-1) romp over the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2).

Eagles Rally Late, Stun Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts, 30-27: After trailing 17-6 at halftime, Philadelphia Eagles(2-0) quarterback Nick Foles showed why he is one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL in leading the Eagles to a 30-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts (0-2).
The Colts, trying to recover from a late defeat at the hands of the Denver Broncos, lost consecutive games for the first time in Andrew Luck’s three-year career.
