Disjointed Cowboys lose again 35 17

Garrard throws four touchdown passes as Jaguars earn road rout

BY JAIME ARON

arlington, tex. — Jon Kitna took the snap on fourth-and-goal inside the 1 and spun to his right, only to find Marion Barber was coming from his left. There was a handoff, a collision and a goal- line stop. The Jacksonville Jaguars knew

then the Dallas Cowboys really were as bad as their record indi- cated. David Garrard and the Jaguars

had their way with the Cowboys on Sunday, winning 35-17 in a game that was nowhere near that close. Garrard threw four touch- down passes and walked in for another while narrowly missing a perfect quarterback rating. Mau- rice Jones-Drewran for 135 yards, and the defense matched its sea-

RAMS20, PANTHERS10

Sam Bradford is learning quickly,

and St. Louis is far from the same team that won only one game last season. The rookie QB threw two touchdown passes, the defense forced four turn- overs and the Rams reached the season’s midway point at 4-4 and in contention in the NFCWest. Bradford threw a two-yard scoring

pass to Danny Amendola in the sec- ond quarter and a 23-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Fells in the fourth quarter. He was 25 for 32 for 191 yards and no interceptions, with a season-best quarterback rating of 112.4. “I felt very comfortable out there

today, probably the most comfortable I’ve felt,” said Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. “I think the game is really slowing down for me.” St. Louis enters its bye week with

more wins than the previous two seasons combined — the Rams were 2-14 in 2008 before last season’s NFL-worst 1-15 record. It could be even better. St. Louis has

surrendered more than 17 points just once and lost two games after leading in the fourth quarter. Coach Steve Spagnuolo isn’t worry-

ing about what could have been. “Everything thatwehad in front of us

is still there,” Spagnuolo said. “The NFCWest is the first focus and we’ll go from there.” Things aren’t so rosy for Carolina

(1-6). Matt Moore was 23 for 37 for 194 yards. One of his three intercep- tions, and a fumble by Steve Smith, led to 10 points for St. Louis in the fourth quarter. “You’re just not going to win games, especially on the road, when you turn it over that many times, so it was frustrating,” Carolina Coach John Fox said.

son total by snatching four inter- ceptions. The play at the goal line was

pivotal. Jacksonville (4-4) was leading only 14-3 in the final seconds of the first half; it was the second straight play the Jags kept Barber out of the end zone. Jack- sonville scored touchdowns on its first two drives of the third quar- ter, and the outcome was never in doubt again. “The veterans talked all week

about ‘you take their will,’ ” rookie defensive tackle Tyson Alualu said. “We were relentless that way.” Tony Romo could only watch

from the sideline, his left arm in a sling because of a broken collar- bone, as Dallas (1-6) continued its worst start since 1989.The damn- ing part for the Cowboys was not even being competitive; all their previous losses were by a touch-

down or less. “I’m dumbfounded,” owner

Jerry Jones said. Coach Wade Phillips normally

can find a silver lining in any- thing, no matter how meaning- less, such as Kitna throwing for 379 yards or Dallas scoring two fourth-quarter touchdowns. He was absolutely deflated this time. “I’m distraught, to say the

least,” Phillips said. “I’ve got tal- ented players and I’mnot getting them to play well enough. To me, that’s the root of the problem.” The Cowboys opened the game

by driving to the Jacksonville 16. They kicked a field goal and didn’t score again until they were down 28-3 in the fourth quarter. The Phillips-run defense

couldn’t stop the run or the pass, and hardly pressured Garrard. The Cowboys have gone from allowing an NFC-best 15.6 points per game last season to 26.7. They didn’t allow a 100-yard runner all last season and have done so four times in five games. —Associated Press

PACKERS9,JETS0 Ugly. Sloppy. And, perhaps, a little

rusty. It all added up to one big dud for New York. Mason Crosby kicked three field

goals for Green Bay, and that was all the Packers needed as they held the Jets off the scoreboardfora9-0 victory on Sunday. “I wish we could play it again, do it

over,” Jets Coach Rex Ryan said. “But there are no do-overs in this league.” Good thing, since seeing this once

was bad enough for the Jets. “It felt embarrassing to be shut out

at home,” RT Damien Woody said. “Our personnel and our coaching staff is too good for us to be shut out at home.” QB Mark Sanchez and the Jets’

offense couldn’t get much of anything going after the bye week. New York, which entered tied for the league’s best record, had its five-game winning streak end. “We love to be underdogs,” Packers

S Nick Collins said. “Everybody thinks the Jets are the team to win the Super Bowl.We wanted to come in here and match their intensity and show them that we can play with anybody.” The wind might have caused some problems for passing and kicking games. Crosby and the Jets’ Nick Folk missed field goal attempts, while San- chez and Rodgers misfired often with balls sailing past wide receivers. After turning the ball over on downs,

the Jets held the Packers to a three- and-out and had one more chance to get into the end zone trailing 6-0 with less than four minutes left. Following a five-yard run by LaDaini-

an Tomlinson, Jerricho Cotchery couldn’t hold onto a long pass from Sanchez, who was sacked on the next play by Clay Matthews. Sanchez then threw incomplete to Braylon Edwards, and the Packers took over. Crosby sealed it with a 40-yard field

goal with 27 seconds left. “We let one get away from us,”Ryan

said. “We just never got it done.” PACKERS ................................. 3
