MRI's on injured Dallas linebacker DeMarcus Ware and running back Marion Barber revealed no significant damage a day after the Cowboys' win over Seattle. An MRI exam on Ware's hyperextended left knee showed no ligament damage. An MRI exam on Barber's right pinkie toe, which was dislocated, revealed no fracture.

Just weeks after the Cowboys finally got quarterback Tony Romo back from a broken pinkie finger, running back Marion Barber dislocated his right pinkie toe. Barber suffered the injury on Thursday in the team's win over Seattle. He dislocated the toe in the second quarter and went into the locker before the half. He returned in the third quarter, rushing once for four years, but something wasn't right. Owner Jerry Jones said X-rays were negative. "We've got to see what he can do on it," running backs coach Skip Peete said. "Obviously, on that first run, you could see that he couldn't push off on it."

The Cowboys jumped out to a 14-0 lead against the Seahawks on Thursday afternoon and never looked back en route to their third-straight win. Tony Romo went 22-for-34 with 331 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Tashard Choice and Marion Barber combined to rush twenty-one times for 89 yards on a touchdown. Jason Witten had a banner day, catching nine passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. Terrell Owens remained hot, with five receptions for 98 yards and a score of his own. Matt Hasselbeck struggled once again, going 22-for-38 with 287 yards and an interception. Julius Jones, facing his former team, rushed eleven times for 37 yards. Rookie tight end John Carlson led Seattle in receiving, with six receptions for 105 yards. The Seahawks failed to score a touchdown, managing just three Olindo Mare field goals in the loss.

The Cowboys signed defensive back Tra Battle off San Diego's practice squad Wednesday, and he could play Thursday against the Seahawks. "It's been like a whirlwind," said Battle. "I'd like to think I am [ready to play]." With Cowboys' safety and special teamer Patrick Watkins again bothered by a neck injury, Dallas wanted to add some depth.

Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo is still sporting a splint to protect his injured pinkie, but he hopes to shed the protective gear soon. "It's getting a lot better. ... I feel like I could probably get to a point where [I could be] playing without the splint this week," Romo said. "I don't know if the trainers and doctors are going to let me, but I'm getting pretty close." Romo is 42-of-66 with 539 passing yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions since returning. "I can definitely put [the ball] where I want to on the field," Romo said. "It's just a matter of, with the splint on, every once in a blue moon, it'll pop up and affect the throw a little bit. But other than that, it's been good."

Chances are you saw a majority of the fourteen games played on Sunday in the NFL's Week 12, but there is no need to worry if you weren?t watching all the action. RealGM is here to help summarize all that went down as NFL teams took the field in the weekend before Thanksgiving. We will also calculate each team's Trench Counter*.

Tampa Bay 38, Detroit 20 Team Trench Counter: Buccaneers +12.7, Lions -12.7 The Lions (0-11) stormed out of the gates to take a 17-0 lead but couldn?t keep the Buccaneers (8-3) off the scoreboard in the second and third quarters en route to yet another loss.

Houston 16, Cleveland 6 Team Trench Counter: Texans +9.7, Browns -9.7 The Texans (4-7) won an ugly contest over the Browns (4-7) simply because they made fewer mistakes. Sage Rosenfels went 24-for-32 with 275 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Steve Slaton (73 yards on 21 carries) and Ahman Green (39 yards on 13 attempts) helped Houston control the clock.

Mark Clayton led Baltimore in receiving with two catches for 76 yards and a trip to the end zone. The defense feasted on the struggling Eagles, grabbing four interceptions, a fumble and scoring on a 108-yard pick return by Ed Reed. McNabb went 8-for-18 with 59 yards, two interceptions and a fumble in the first half before being replaced by Kevin Kolb, who went 10-for-23 with 73 yards and two picks as well. Brian Westbrook, without a passing game on his side, rushed for just 39 yards on fourteen carries. Rookie DeSean Jackson, who rushed once for 12 yards, caught five passes for 47 yards in the tough loss. The Eagles would have been held scoreless by the Ravens had Quintin Demps not returned a kickoff 100 yards near the end of the second quarter. At the half, when McNabb?s benching, the first of his career, took place the score was 10-7 in favor of Baltimore. Oakland 31, Denver 10 Team Trench Counter: Raiders +12.6, Broncos -12.6 JaMarcus Russell was nearly perfect as the Raiders (3-8) shocked the Broncos (6-5) at Invesco Field.

Peyton Hillis, the fullback turned leading rusher, ran seventeen times for 74 yards and a touchdown, Denver?s only trip to the end zone of the afternoon.

Seattle had a chance to shock Washington, but Hasselbeck threw a pick on first down with 1:28 left on the team?s own 22-yard line. Maurice Morris rushed fourteen times for 103 yards, and added three catches for 10 yards and a touchdown. The Seahawks, who have lost four-straight, are amazingly just a game out of second place in the NFC West. N.Y. Giants 37, Arizona 29 Team Trench Counter: Giants +0, Cardinals -0 The Giants (10-1) continue to defeat formidable opponents, having knocked off the Cardinals (7-4) in Arizona.

Derrick Ward ? starting in the place of Brandon Jacobs (knee injury) ? rushed twenty times for 69 yards and a score. Manning spread the ball around nicely, connecting with five different receivers at least four times. Kurt Warner went 32-for-52 with 351 yards, one touchdown, d an interception.

Anquan Boldin had eleven catches for 87 yards and a score; Larry Fitzgerald grabbed five balls for 71 yards; and Steve Breaston had six receptions for 86 yards.

DeAngelo Williams excelled on the ground, rushing nineteen times for 109 yards and a score. Muhsin Muhammad caught four passes for 40 yards and a trip to the end zone while Steve Smith had eight receptions for 168 yards in the loss. Indianapolis 23, San Diego 20 Team Trench Counter: Colts -6.6, Chargers +6.6 Adam Vinatieri kicked a 51-yard field goal as time expired to give the Colts (7-4) a win over the Chargers (4-7).

New Orleans 51, Green Bay 29 Team Trench Counter: Saints +18.3, Packers -18.3 Drew Brees aired it out as the Saints (6-5) thumped the Packers (5-6) on Monday Night Football. Brees went 20-for-26 with 323 yards and four touchdowns, outplaying Aaron Rodgers mightily in Louisiana. Pierre Thomas ran fifteen times for 87 yards and two touchdowns, while Lance Moore once again led New Orleans in receiving with five catches for 115 yards and a pair of scores. Rodgers went 23-for-41 with 248 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. It was the secondary of the Saints, not the hyped unit of the Packers, that played a key role in the game. Ryan Grant carried the ball eighteen times for 67 yards, and Rodgers added 36 rushing yards on eight scrambles. Greg Jennings led Green Bay in receiving, catching eight passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. *Explaining The Trench Counter

Dallas cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones will reportedly receive a lifetime ban from the NFL if he violates the terms of his recent reinstatement. Commissioner Roger Goodell relied on the recommendations from clinical specialists that oversaw Jones' 30 days in a rehab facility when deciding to reinstate him from his latest suspension. Jones is slated to return to practice Monday and be eligible to play Dec. 7 at Pittsburgh.

Terrell Owens had easily his best game of the 2008 season on Sunday, posting 213 yards and a touchdown reception against the 49ers. The yardage total was the second-highest of his career and the most in the NFL since Philadelphia's Kevin Curtis had 221 yards in September of 2007. The production, along with the 35-22 win, should help ease tensions in the Cowboys' locker room. Owens spent the week complaining about the team's struggling offense.

Quarterback Tony Romo is back, but Cowboys' wide receiver Terrell Owens is still frustrated with the team's offense. "For me to have the numbers that I have and not really being involved, it is discouraging," Owens said Thursday night. "It is frustrating, but what can I do?" Owens has 40 catches for 505 yards with six touchdowns. He hasn't had more than 40 yards receiving since the beginning of October.

Dallas rookie running back Felix Jones is done for the remainder of the season because of a a torn ligament beneath his left big toe. Jones suffered the season-ending injury while rehabbing the left hamstring that he hurt in early October. "Obviously disappointed, certainly for him and us," Coach Wade Phillips said. "But long term, he's going to be all right." He will have surgery on the toe, with six months of recovery following.
