Joe Randle Scores 3 TDs in Losing Effort for Dallas Cowboys

Well, Brandon Weeden didn’t get a win in his first start of 2015, but he and Joe Randle played quite well against the Atlanta Falcons in a 39-28 loss at home.

Weeden was 22/26 for 232 yards and a pick. He flirted with the all-time NFL record for consecutive completions as he opened by completing his first nine passes to extend his streak to 21. The pick came on the next throw, though, and he fell three completions short.

Randle was even better. The former Poke totaled 87 yards on 14 carries and posted three touchdowns. Here’s a look at his first one which was just spectacular.

This was the second one. A sight I sure miss seeing in Stillwater.

He went all Barry Sanders for his third.

Randle became just the ninth player in Cowboys history to have three rushing TDs in a game and only the third since Emmitt Smith last did it in 1998.
