The killer combination of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and wide receiver Miles Austin arose from the dead and destroyed yet another team as they lead the now 8-3 Cowboys to a 24-7 victory over the Oakland Raiders.

Romo passed for 309 yards and two touchdowns, one to Miles Austin who caught seven passes for 145 yards and one to wide receiver Roy Williams.

Tight end Jason Witten had his best game of the season catching five passes for 107 yards. The Cowboys running back trio of Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice combined for 197 yards rushing including 46-yard touchdown run by Jones.

The Cowboys defense played a great game holding the Raiders to just seven points and getting three sacks, two by defensive end Anthony Spencer and one by linebacker DeMarcus Ware.

New starting Raiders quarterback Bruce Gradkowski played a pretty decent game considering the pressure he was under going into Cowboys Stadium on Thanksgiving Day against one the best defenses in the NFL.

Gradkowski passed for 200 yards and threw the lone Raiders touchdown to rookie first-round pick wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, the first touchdown of his career.

Raiders tight end Zach Miller was a key weapon for Gradkowski this afternoon catching five passes for 73 yards.

The Cowboys their face NFC East division rival New York Giants at Giants Stadium and the Raiders go to Heinz Field to face the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sunday.
