Ravens give Texas Stadium finale loss
IRVING, Texas (AP) – Dallas Cowboys fans and Hall of Famers came early and stayed late, making sure that they savored every bit of the 313th and last game at Texas Stadium.
The Baltimore Ravens will remember it fondly, too.
Willis McGahee ran 77 yards for a lead-stretching touchdown when things got tight late in the fourth quarter, then Le’Ron McClain topped that by going 83 yards for the real victory-clinching touchdown with 1:18 left, sending the Ravens past the Cowboys, 33-24, Saturday night in a game both teams needed to boost their playoff chances.
Baltimore led 19-10 midway through the fourth quarter behind four field goals from Matt Stover and a touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Derrick Mason.
Tony Romo threw touchdown passes to Terrell Owens and Jason Witten over the last 3:36, each putting Dallas within two points. But the Ravens answered both with one-play scoring drives, both coming on runs up the middle.
