Cowboys Spoil Vince Young's Debut 45-14

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- As long as Drew Bledsoe and Terry Glenn are connecting for touchdowns, they don't mind when Terrell Owens gets all the attention.

In a game that featured T.O.'s appearance five days after an "accidental overdose" and the first NFL start of Tennessee rookie Vince Young, Bledsoe and Glenn hooked up on two 13-yard touchdown passes Sunday and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Titans 45-14.

Bledsoe sees Owens, the five-time Pro Bowl selection, and Glenn, his former teammate at New England, as the best tandem of receivers he's ever had. Still, Owens is the one who draws extra defensive help.

"When Owens is out there, (Glenn) gets single coverage and you can't cover him one-on-one," Bledsoe said.

Owens did indeed play with his broken right hand protected by a plate and a glove only five days after his hospital visit for an accidental overdose. He caught five passes for 88 yards but also dropped a pass in the end zone he couldn't pull in with his injured hand.

"He caught a couple balls," Dallas coach Bill Parcells said. "You were there. What do you think? I was pleased with the offense."

There was added drama when Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth stomped on Dallas center Andre Gurode's face and was ejected. Gurode needed stitches above his left eye and didn't return because of blurry vision.

Titans coach Jeff Fisher apologized, and Haynesworth was contrite.

"If they suspend me that's fine," Haynesworth said. "Because for what I did, whatever they give me, I deserve it. I did it and it's wrong. That's not the game of football that's not how it's supposed to be played. I let my team down."

Parcells said he didn't see what happened. Neither did Bledsoe, but he wasn't happy.

"There is no place for that in this game," Bledsoe said. "That is something that you hate to see, and something that should not be a part of this game at all."

The Cowboys (2-1) punted only once and ran for 217 of their 369 total yards. Julius Jones ran 23 times for 122 yards and a touchdown.
