Cowboys Trounce Titans

In a game that featured the return of Terrell Owens and the first NFL start of Tennessee rookie Vince Young, Drew Bledsoe and Terry Glenn hooked up on two 13-yard touchdown passes Sunday and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Titans, 45-14, at Nashville.

Owens did indeed play with his broken right hand protected by a plate and a glove only five days after his hospital visit for an accidental overdose. He caught five passes for 88 yards but also dropped a pass in the end zone.

Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth stomped on Dallas center Andre Gurode’s face and was ejected. Gurode needed stitches on his forehead and above his left eye.

The Cowboys (2-1) punted only once and ran for 217 of their 369 total yards. Julius Jones ran 23 times for 122 yards and a touchdown.

Young completed 14 of 29 passes for 155 yards and ran five times for three yards. Two of his passes were intercepted, and he lost a fumble.

The Titans are 0-4.

Buffalo 17, Minnesota 12 -- Bills quarterback J.P. Losman did just enough to hold off another comeback by the Vikings.

Losman passed for 222 yards and a touchdown and set up another score with a 15-yard scramble at Buffalo, N.Y.

The Vikings (2-2) threatened on their final drive -- getting as close as the Bills’ 16-yard line -- but with no timeouts left, receiver Billy McMullen failed to get out of bounds and the clock ran out.

The Bills are also 2-2.

Kansas City 41, San Francisco 0 -- Damon Huard played almost flawlessly, completing 13 of his first 15 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns while the Chiefs (1-2) seized a 24-0 halftime lead at Kansas City, Mo., en route to their first shutout in almost four years.

Larry Johnson rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns for the Chiefs, who handed the 49ers (1-3) only their second shutout since 1977.
