the cowboys began the 2008 season by defeating the cleveland browns 28-10, coming off their commanding road win over the browns, the cowboys played their week 2 home opener under the mnf spotlight. in the last mnf game at texas stadium, dallas dueled with their nfc east foe, the philadelphia eagles. in the first quarter, the cowboys trailed early as eagles kicker david akers got a 34-yard field goal. dallas answered in their first possession with qb tony romo completing a 72-yard td pass to wr terrell owens in a game that had 9 lead changes, it also set different point records, including most first half points in mnf history (54) and most combined points in the rivalry's history (78). dallas held on to win 41–37. after starting 4–1 the cowboys flew to the university of phoenix stadium for a week 6 sunday night football showdown with the arizona cardinals. the cardinals returned the opening kick return for a touchdown but dallas tied the game 7–7 at halftime. with only 3:17 left in the 4th quarter tony romo completed a 70-yard pass to marion barber iii and the kicker nick folk hit a 52-yard field goal as time expired to send the game into overtime. in overtime the cowboys punter mat mcbriar had a punt blocked and returned for a touchdown also in overtime qb tony romo broke his right pinkie finger. in the week following the game tony romo was listed as questionable, and then missed three games. in addition, matt mcbriar and sam hurd were placed in injured reserve, and felix jones was listed as out for 2–3 weeks with a hamstring injury. furthermore, adam (pacman) jones was suspended by the nfl for a minimum of 4 weeks after an altercation with his bodyguard. lastly the cowboys traded for wr roy williams with the detroit lions, in exchange for their first, third, and sixth-round picks. after the bye week, they won another four game, dallas finished the season 1–3, losing its final game in texas stadium to the baltimore ravens 33–24 followed by a disastrous 44–6 loss to philadelphia. with a 9–7 record, the team finished third in the division and failed to qualify for the playoffs. after the season ended, highly controversial and productive receiver terrell owens was released after receiving a $34 million extension the previous june that was supposed to allow him to retire a cowboy. jones said he released owens because of production and "in this particular case, we have an outstanding player in roy williams, and it was a significant factor in the decision i made to release terrell." in three seasons with the cowboys, owens had 235 receptions for 3,587 yards and 38 touchdowns, but his numbers declined last season, when he had 69 receptions for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns.
