return for a touchdown for Dallas since Terence Newman returned one 56
yards for a score against Detroit (12/31/06). It was also the longest
punt return by a Cowboys player since Deion Sanders returned one 76
yards at Indianapolis (10/31/99).
* Crayton finished with 87 punt return yards to give him 796 for his
career to pass James Jones (736) for seventh in club history.
* Crayton's touchdown catch today gave him 20 for his career and allowed
him to tie Terry Glenn for 12th all-time in club history.

to pass Ken Willis and Efren Herrera for the eighth-most field goal
attempts in club history.

without an interception. The first was in 2006 - at Washington (11/5)
and at Arizona (11/12).
