Cowboys 26, Titans 10: DeMarco Murray rushed for 167 yards and one touchdown as visiting Dallas knocked off Tennessee.

Tony Romo completed 19-of-29 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown while Dan Bailey kicked four field goals as the Cowboys (1-1) rebounded from a horrific season-opening loss to San Francisco. Dez Bryant had 10 receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown.

Jake Locker was 18-of-34 for 234 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted twice for the Titans (1-1). Delanie Walker caught 10 passes, including a 61-yard scoring toss as part of his career-best 142 receiving yards.

Dallas dominated the first half, rolling up a 209-68 edge in yards and 15-2 advantage in first downs. Bailey kicked a 48-yard field goal late in the first quarter, Murray scored on a 3-yard run in the second and Bailey booted field goals of 44 and 51 yards to give the Cowboys a 16-0 halftime lead.

Tennessee scored 10 quick third-quarter points to cut its deficit to six before Romo tossed a 3-yard TD pass to Bryant with 2:09 left in the period. Bailey kicked his fourth field goal with 8:15 left in the fourth to make it a 16-point margin and Dallas finished off a victory in which it controlled the ball for 41 minutes, 11 seconds.

GAME NOTEBOOK: The 51-yard field goal was the 12th of Bailey’s career from 50 yards or more. … The 100-yard receiving performance was the first of Walker’s career. … Cowboys LB Justin Durant missed the game with a groin injury.
