Cowboys Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The Cowboys have only one goal in mind in 2008. That’s the Super Bowl. After last season’s disappointing end—losing in the first round to the eventual Super Bowl champion Giants after going 13-3 in the regular season—it’s all they can think about.

Broncos‘ running backs ranks are thinning (AP)
With the boom of thunder shaking the bubble roof overhead, Selvin Young took the handoff at the Denver Broncos‘ walkthrough in their indoor facility Friday and jogged around the right side when he tripped over his own feet. “I just heard the thud,” coach Mike Shanahan said. “Looks like he’s OK.” It’s been that kind of month for the Broncos‘ beleaguered backfield.
