Dallas Cowboys too strong for Tennessee Titans

Cowboys too strong for Titans

The Dallas Cowboys have secured their first win of the 2014 NFL season by comfortably beating the Tennessee Titans 26-10 this evening.

Tony Romo tried to lead the Cowboys down the field for an early touchdown, but a sack from Jurrell Casey forced Dan Bailey to kick a 48-yard field goal.

The Titans attempted to get back on level terms, but Jake Locker threw an interception to allow the Dallas offense back on, resulting in a rushing score for DeMarco Murray.

The Cowboys' defense restricted Tennessee well through the opening two quarters, ensuring that they were unable to send on their kicker for a field-goal attempt before the break, while Bailey added six more points for the home side.

Ryan Succop got the Titans on the board with a 47-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, before Locker connected with Delanie Walker with a deep pass to leave Tennessee just six points behind.

Romo completed a string of passes to Dez Bryant to quickly get the Cowboys into the red zone, before a three-yard pass to the wide receiver gave the home side their second touchdown of the evening.

Walker tried to get deep to give Locker another chance for a Titans score, but linebacker Rolando McClain intercepted the pass to keep the Cowboys in control.

Bailey added another field goal late on to end any hopes of a Titans comeback.
