Punters don’t often get their moment in the sun. But in a tight game, when Dustin Colquitt boomed a punt that pinned the Dallas Cowboys deep in their territory in a 17-13, and he took full advantage:

He doesn’t even need those guns for punting!

SBNation’s Blogging the Boys noted that Dallas wanted to get the next play off quickly, giving Kansas City less time to decide if they wanted to challenge the catch.

Still a lot of time to go, fantasy owners.

The Cowboys signed Waters prior to the start of the season after it became clear that veteran help was needed on the interior offensive line. The Cowboys tried several options to fill the holes at left and right guard, including playing starting right tackle at right guard during the preseason, before ultimately signing Waters to a one-year contract.

Appearing on KRLD-FM in Dallas on Friday, Jones stated Waters would not start but would instead share snaps with right guard Mackenzie Bernadeau. Waters was reportedly impressive during practice this past week but is still attempting to get back into game shape after sitting out the season in 2012 and missing all of this year’s training camp.

According to Odds Shark, the Chiefs are currently favored by 2½ to 3 points over the Cowboys after the game opened as a pick ‘em on sports books. For the weekend, Detroit at Arizona is the only game with a tighter spread. The over/under for the game is currently 46½, making the projected score roughly 24-21 or 25-22, assuming a 3-point spread.

Both teams are 1-0 against the spread this season. The Cowboys easily hit the over during their 36-31 win over the Giants. The Chiefs hit the under during their 28-2 win, though the Jaguars are largely to blame considering their offensive woes.
