Cowboys 28, Chargers 24
(game story)

It wasn't a perfect performance, but the Cowboys play just well enough to beat the 'Bolts in San Diego Sunday.

Drew Bledsoe was more than solid...but it's only one game.

Julius Jones (26 carries, 93 yds) showed the same flashes of brilliance that we saw in his limited action last season.

Patrick Crayton (6 catches, 89 yds) did his best to keep Peerless Price on the deactivated list.

The new-look 3-4 defense had its moments as well...but almost gave the game away late by letting the Chargers pick up a 4th and 14 to keep a drive alive.

The Cowboys got a lot of breaks in this one, but they totally deserved to win...and, at least for one week, things seem to be back on track out at Valley Ranch.
