john henry smith is smiling because his team won.e is here with sports. >> the mighty detroit lions are 1-0. it was an action packed first sunday of action, one of the best games of the day was the last, the cowboys and $120 million man tony romo tried to beat it is giants for the first time in new cowboy stadium. the giants made him the meat of a muscle sandwich, bruising his ribs. he only missed one play, though. david wilson would miss a lot of plays after his second fumble turned into a touchdown to put dallas up 20-10. wilson would find himself benched for the rest of the night by coach tom coughlin. later, two plays after the giants must haved a fount set the cowboys up, romo throws his second t.d. pass of the game. cause of action win 36-31. >> you're never going to win a game turning the ball over five tiles. six times we gave the ball away tonight, six times. that's my fault. i'm totally, totally disappointed and embarrassed by that kind of football. that's sloppy, sloppy football. you have control of yourself, you have to r

john henry smith recently asked serene williams from the fort worth star-telegram who would go first? >> well, i think they both have short leashes but you have to give a coach more than two years. josh freeman on the other hand is in the last year of his rookie contract. there was the story he had asked for a trade or would ask for a trade before the trade deadline next month. whether that's true or not, he certainly is playing his way out of town. in this last five games date to go last year, he has four touchdowns and 11 interceptions, 335 passing yards this season and the 30th rated passer. he is not playing well. this is no question this is his last season in tampa bay. there is a rift there. i think the only question left in tampa bay is this his last season in tampa bay? >> two wins for the bears. are they that good or lucky to be 2 and 0? >> there is a little bit of luck in there. i think they are getting an identity a little bit, you know, two games, two fourth quarter comebacks. they believe in jay cutler. he looks comfortable in mark tresman's. that's the difference for the
