Notebook
9/11 tributes, memories: Several Cowboys will be using equipment tonight that honors the victims of the 9/11 terrorists attacks.
Running back Tashard Choice and receiver Miles Austin will wear Under Armour cleats that have "FDNY" and "NYPD" written in large print on the sides.
"To show my gratitude and respect, I'll be wearing special cleats for 9/11," Choice wrote on Twitter. "God bless America and our freedom."
Austin was a 17-year-old high school student in Garfield, N.J., when terrorists attacked the United States. His enduring memory: watching the smoke rise from ground zero.
"It was a shock to see something like that happen and so many people killed," Austin said. "You (could) see the smoke from my town, pretty close. I'm older, and I know friends who work in that financial district. I knew people who knew people who were affected by it. It was crazy."
Linebacker Bradie James will be one of three Reebok clients on the Cowboys who will wear special American-themed gloves and cleats.
James was at LSU coming out of biology lab class when he learned of the planes hitting the World Trade Center towers.
"People were talking about, 'One of the towers went down,'" James said. "Being from Louisiana, we didn't know what they were talking about. Then they said, 'Another plane hit another tower,' and it was all over TV.
"Then there was like a panic, like a scare. I can't really explain it. It was almost like when you're parachuting or when you're hang-gliding or something like that. You get up there, you don't hear anything. It was an eerie feeling. You start praying and hoping everything is all right."
Extra points: A win would give the Cowboys their 35th opening-day victory and their 20th opening-day win on the road. The Cowboys are 34-16-1 in opening-day games. ... Dallas has lost its last three games on Sunday night. ... The Cowboys have played only four teams fewer times than the nine times they have faced the Jets: Buffalo (eight), Jacksonville (five), Houston and Baltimore (three each).
