Culpepper was on fire today, throwing 4 touchdown passes, three of them to Randy Moss. But this game also had it’s share of sloppy play, as three drives in a row ended with a lost fumble, two of them by Dallas. In total the Cowboys gave the ball away four times, and in the end it was too much for them to overcome.
