Crayton named player of the week

Patrick Crayton was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Crayton filled in for newly acquired punt returner Allen Rossum (hamstring), and returned three punts for 87 yards, including a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown - the first punt return for a score in his career.

It also marked the first punt return for a touchdown for Dallas since Terence Newman returned one 56 yards against Detroit (12/31/06) and was the longest punt return by a Cowboys player since Deion Sanders returned one 76 yards at Indianapolis (10/31/99).
