Colts’ charge halted as Cowboys claim shock victory

THE Indianapolis Colts, the only team in NFL history to start 9-0 in consecutive seasons, fell to the upstart Dallas Cowboys 21-14 on Sunday.

That sets in play yet another celebration for the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the NFL’s only perfect team for at least one more year.

But there is no joy in Philadelphia, where five-time Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb suffered a torn right anterior cruciate ligament in the Philadelphia Eagles’ 31-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans, ending his season.
