EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Mat McBriar wanted to accept blame for one of the plays that contributed to the Cowboys' fourth-quarter collapse in their 27-24 loss to the New York Jets. But there was little he could do. With five minutes, eight seconds left in the game, a punt by McBriar was blocked by Joe McKnight and recovered by Isaiah Trufant, who returned the ball 18 yards for a touchdown.
"It was definitely shocking," McBriar said. We knew they were going to bring some heat. You feel responsible in a way for the way things turned out.
The touchdown by Trufant, who was added to Jets' active roster Saturday, changed the complexion of the game as the Jets tied the score at 24.
"It left a sour taste in your mouth," McBriar said. "That's for sure...It was a great play they made. It was disappointing for us."
