During the 2011 NFL preseason, there was no bigger possible sleeper then Dallas Cowboys’ running back Felix Jones. Experts said it would be his breakout year. But yet again, injury reared it’s ugly head for Jones and in-turn opened the door for another player to take his starting job. Now that the season is over, Jones find himself once again on the bench. And with the upcoming season being the final year of his contract and possibly with the team, some Cowboy fans may want to get something of value from the former first round pick.

It also effectively ended the Dolphins own three game winning streak.

Dallas quarterback Tony Romo struggled early on, throwing two interceptions. But it was a bad snap by Miami’s offense and the resulting fumble recovery by Dallas’ DeMarcus Ware that turned the tide. That turnover in the second quarter lead to the games’ first score that wasn’t a field goal, when Romo scrambled to find wideout Laurent Robinson in the endzone. Robinson would score two touchdowns on the day. (more…)
