Cowboy's building a case for their defence

29 Sep 2009


The Dallas Cowboys claimed a 21-7 win over the Carolina Panthers in the NFL thanks to their under-fire defence.

Terence Newman scored the game-clinching touchdown with five minutes left after a tight encounter in which the Cowboys' defence stood firm.

With the Cowboys leading 13-7 and the Panthers attempting a fightback, Newman stole away and charged into the end zone to secure a solid win.

Cowboys quarter-back Tony Romo said: "If you keep plugging away, playing hard and just trying to get better, things will turn out the right way."
