Detroit Lions and
Dallas Cowboys win in Week 1
Week 1 of the NFL
Preseason is underway, on Thursday the Detroit Lions and the
Dallas Cowboys raised their self-esteem.
The
NFL Preseason games are the best chance teams will have to
"check yourself" before the real deal. In the first two
exhibition games the Detroit Lions met the Cincinnati Bengals
and the Dallas Cowboys welcomed the Indianapolis Colts.
The neighboring Cincinnati Bengals took
an early lead at 26-17 in the fourth quarter, but the Lions took
a late victory beating the Bengals 26-27. Although only two
passes were thrown at Calvin Johnson, the #2 NFL draft pick
caught both of them and displayed his speed and playmaking
ability. Rod Marinelli will be on the sideline for a second
season and the win against the Bengals gives hope to Michigan
for a good NFL season ahead. "You always want to win any game
you play, but this doesn't hurt. We did a lot of good things
when the veterans were in there. The young guys missed some
chances to finish out the game," Cincinnati coach Marvin
Lewis said after the game.

The Cowboys' fans have plenty to
celebrate after Dallas scored a serious victory against the
Super Bowl Champions on Thursday. The Cowboys wrote 23-10 on the
final scoreboard in the game against the Indianapolis Colts and
no one in Texas cares that it's just the Preseason. The Cowboys
were confident in their play and took an early 23-3 lead, before
the Colts scored a touchdown in the closing minutes. The Colts
would not sweat the exhibition lost, in 2005 they lost all five
to go and win their first 13 games in the regular season.
"All in all, we have things to build on," Indianapolis coach
Tony Dungy said.
