Last week
Both teams had byes.

Keep your eye on ...
Romo's return to action: With Tony Romo out the last three games, Dallas' offense disappeared. The team went 1-2 during that stretch, averaging just 14 points per game. The Cowboys are hoping that Romo's broken finger is completely healed and that he will energize a struggling unit.

Campbell's confidence: The Redskins signal-caller was the last starting quarterback in the NFL to throw an interception, but he had two against the Steelers in Week 9. He was battered by Pittsburgh, getting sacked seven times, and had his worst performance of the season.

Moss vs. Newman: Throughout his Redskins tenure, WR Santana Moss has feasted on the Cowboys. In his past three games against Dallas, Moss has 25 catches for 381 yards and two touchdowns. It will be up to Newman, who is finally healthy after missing the last five games, to stop Moss and perform better than he did in Week 4 when the Redskins wideout burned him for eight receptions and 145 yards.
