(Murray leads Dallas past Seattle 30)
(ISIS hostage Peter Kassig's parents- 'We haven't abandoned him')
Line 1: Line 1:

SEATTLE -- Those questioning whether the Dallas Cowboys' start to the season was legit got a resounding answer on Sunday.
+
Peter Kassig was kidnapped by ISIS fighters one year ago this month, when the former U.S. Army Ranger went to Syria to provide aid to refugees from the country's deadly civil war.聽
−
Showing no intimidation toward Seattle's hard-hitting defense or the noisy 12th Man, the Cowboys leaned on the 115 yards rushing from DeMarco Murray and a clutch third-down pass from Tony Romo for a 30-23 win over the Seahawks.
+
Since his capture, Kassig has converted to Islam and changed his name from Peter to Abdul-Rahman, and his captors have threatened to behead the 26-year-old from Indianapolis if his parents spoke publicly. But when his picture surfaced on TV days ago, Kassig's parents, Ed and Paula, decided to speak out in hopes their son will hear their words.
−
After Murray scored on a 15-yard run with 3:16 left to give Dallas the lead, the Cowboys defense, which made Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson miserable all afternoon, held twice in the final 3 minutes.
+
"We haven't forgotten him," Paula told NBC's Peter Alexander in an interview that aired on TODAY Monday. "We haven't abandoned him, and we certainly do love him."<br>
−
The Cowboys forced Seattle to turn the ball over on downs. After Dan Bailey's third field goal pushed the lead to seven, Rolando McClain intercepted Wilson near midfield with less than a minute remaining to seal one of the more impressive Dallas wins in recent memory.
+
On聽the moment they found out their son had been captured: "You just told me you've got a daughter," Ed Kassig said to Alexander. "Just tell the people watching right now, look at their kid and ask that question and they'll have all the answer they need."On their son's conversion to Islam: "He was as taken with the religion as he was with the people," Ed said. "It was a natural process for him."On聽their son's perspective about being held hostage:聽"He knows that this is bigger than it just being about him," Paula said. "And we do too."On聽the last time they heard their son, in an audio recording from his captors: "He described that his time was running out," Paul said. "His vitality, his spark was not in his voice."The Kassigs also shared portions of a handwritten letter from their son carried out by a former hostage. Ed read from the letter: "Don't worry, Dad. If I go down, I won't go down thinking anything but what I know to be true, that you and Mom love me more than the moon."<br>
−
The Cowboys are 5-1 for the first time since 2007 and beating the defending champions in Seattle gives validity to the surprising start.
+
The Kassigs said they have had little communication with their son's captors, most of the which has been in the form of a demand. "There's no room for dialogue," Ed Kassig told Alexander.<p>Related Articles:</p><ul><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Evora</a></li><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Galliera</a></li><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Lockit</a></li></ul>
−
Murray became the second running back in NFL history to start a season with six straight 100-yard rushing games, matching Jim Brown. And he did it against the league's best run defense, which had not allowed a running back more than 38 yards in a game this season.
+
−
Dallas' improved offensive line opened enough space for Murray to run and for the most part kept Romo protected. Romo was sacked
+
−
only once, and bounced up off the turf from the one hard hit he took from Bobby Wagner on the Cowboys first drive.
+
−
And when Romo got pressured on Dallas' winning touchdown, Terrance Williams made a stunning toe-dragging catch along the sideline for 23 yards to convert a third-and-20. Romo moved away from pressure by Bruce Irvin and found Williams along the sideline in front of the Cowboys bench for 23 yards.
+
−
Murray then broke free for 25 yards and a 6-yard run to the Seattle 15. He then capped his record day by cutting back and rolling through Earl Thomas at the goal line.
+
−
Romo finished 21 of 32 for 250 yards and two touchdowns. The second TD throw went to Jason Witten, who became the second tight end in NFL history with 900 career receptions.
+
−
Wilson ran for a 9-yard touchdown and Mike Morgan returned a blocked punt 25 yards for a score for Seattle. But after being lauded for his Monday night performance, Wilson was part of a miserable day for Seattle's offense.
+
−
He finished 14 of 28 for 126 yards, 53 of those coming on one completion to Jermaine Kearse in the first quarter. Seattle was outgained 401-206 and had just nine first downs. Marshawn Lynch was used sparingly, finishing with only 10 carries for 61 yards and most of Percy Harvin's plays went backward. Harvin's three receptions equaled minus-1 yard.
+
−
The only reason Seattle was in the game was 14 points on special teams. Doug Baldwin blocked Chris Jones' punt and Morgan returned it 25 yards for a touchdown and a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. Dwayne Harris muffed a fair catch deep in his own territory in the third quarter and Kevin Pierre-Lewis emerged from the pile with the ball. Two plays later, Wilson kept on a zone-read and sprinted 9 yards to pull Seattle even at 17.<p>Related Articles:</p><ul><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Evora</a></li><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Galliera</a></li><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Louis Vuitton Lockit</a></li></ul>
