Santana Moss has a pretty good track record against the Cowboys. In eight games with the Redskins he has 54 catches for 841 yards and four touchdowns. Two of them came on the night the Cowboys put the Triplets in the Ring of Honor in 2005 when he stole that win with fourth-quarter TD grabs.

But Terence Newman has a pretty good history against the Redskins, too. He has had eiht of his 23 career interceptions against Washington.

"I don't know what it is," Newman said. "... I think maybe it's the way the ball bounces. Sometimes you get them. Sometimes you don't."

At different times the Cowboys have had Newman shadow Moss all over the field. When they have done that, it's worked well. Heck, when they do that with Newman on just about any wide receiver it works. Think of the jobs he's done on Carolina's Steve Smith over the years.

When Newman is presented a one-on-one challenge, he excels. Will the Cowboys do that this time? Maybe not with the way Mike Jenkins has developed, but they know they can go to him at any moment if Moss starts rolling tonight.
