Kicker Becomes Folk Hero in Thrilling Dallas Win
Published on October 08, 2007 at 10:28PM
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.-Nick Folk nailed a 53-yard field goal as time expired and the Dallas Cowboys survived a six-turnover performance by edging the Buffalo Bills, 25-24 Monday night at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The loss proved to be the second for Buffalo this season in which they lost the game on the final play of the game via a field goal attempt. How the Cowboys were even in the game proved to be even more remarkable as QB Tony Romo tossed five interceptions, two of which were returned for scores, and coughed up a fumble. Nevertheless, his resiliency (309 yards and two touchdowns in addition to his miscues) proved to turn the tide in Dallas’ favor. Additionally, the Cowboys’ defense was solid as it allowed only 229 offensive yards to the Bills, as the two picks returned for touchdowns and an 103-yard kickoff return by Terrence McGee represented nearly all of Buffalo’s points. To get a shot at a win, the Cowboys had to recover an onside kick and endure two timeouts prior to Folk’s kick. Still, as it split the uprights, Dallas remained unbeaten on the young season and will return home this upcoming Sunday to battle the similarly unscathed New England Patriots. As for Buffalo, they have a bye next week and hope to pick up the pieces from another debilitating loss.

BLM makes treatment decision

(WASHINGTON D.C.) – The U.S. BLM decided Friday to update their analysis concerning the use of herbicides on public lands. According to BLM Director, Jim Caswell, the decision allows for the use of four new approved herbicides and provides updated analysis on 17 currently approved herbicides as well as some herbicides that will no longer be allowed. Caswell said the decision, known as, The Record of Decision, came as a result of extensive public participation and careful, comprehensive environmental study. According to a BLM report, the use of herbicide treatment can slow the spread of noxious weeds and invasive species which in turn, restores the natural role of fire and improves watershed function.
