STREAKS, STATS & NOTES

Dallas has won the last 6 games. The last loss to the Colts was by the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl V, where the Colts won 16-13. Dallas is without stars WR Michael Irvin and TE Jay Novacek but the return of TE Eric Bjornson should provide a more balanced attack for Dallas. ...QB Troy Aikman passed two milestones against the Giants last week - he threw his 100th TD pass, a 19-yarder to WR Kevin Williams, and also surpassed the 20,000 yards passing mark. ...RB Emmitt Smith looked good after being doubtful due to a neck and back injury suffered just 6 days before on Monday night in Chicago. CB/WR Deion Sanders cut back the number of plays he was involved in last week and looks to find a consistent mark with the emergence of the Dallas offense once again.

Indianapolis has not opened up 2-0 since 1977. ...QB Jim Harbaugh is the 2nd rated QB in the NFL at 113.0. ...They could be without the services of RB Marshall Faulk, who injured a toe in last week's game against the Jets. RB Lamont Warren could start in his place. ...TE Ken Dilger set a club record last week with seven catches for 156 yards, breaking the previous record (144) held by John Mackey.
