Played as the Titans against the Cowboys with this set, very good game of football. Only difference in settings was I had Intentional Grounding at 5 (this appears to make the QBs release the ball quicker - and this was a feature in this game).

Some notes:
Rushing attack on both sides was good, Murray broke clear on occasion, only one run over 20 yards (a 36 yard run which he bounced to the outside - his remaining 19 carries at 5.7 YPC) and had 72 yards after first contact (however only broke 2 tackles per the box score). McCluster had a long of 38 yards (his average over the remaining 23 carries was 5.3 YPC).
4 Fumbles overall (all recovered by the opposition for turnovers):
1. Romo fumbled on the first of Hill's sacks - hit as he tried to scramble clear (recovered by Al Woods)
2. Bryant fumbled after making a downfield catch (recovered by Bernard Pollard)
3. Locker fumbled trying to avoid a sack (recovered and returned for a TD by George Selvie)
4. Murray fumbled on an outside run (recovered by Derrick Morgan)
Romo in the pocket was very active. When faced with pressure looked to move away or get rid of the ball. Several times he either made a hurried throw towards the 1st Down mark or out in the flat (occasionally completed), two times when hurried he attempted the dump off to the flat only for the ball to land just behind Doug Free.
His interception was following a sequence of plays that went like this:
1-10 - Illegal Forward Pass - escaped the pocket and threw as he just went past the Line of Scrimmage
2-15 - Sack - Flushed back in the pocket, tried to escape right, defender there on contain, rusher from middle (Sammie Hill) caught him
3-21 - Interception - Hurried again, hit as he threw, ball looped towards Receiver, Griffin stepped in and picked it off.
As for his Sacks, there was the aforementioned one just before the interception, and the one when he fumbled. The Derrick Morgan sack was a quick rush by him off the edge, leaving Doug Free trailing, untouched into the QB. One of the Al Woods sacks was on a called HB Screen as I brought a big rush up the middle right through the gap vacated as the blockers set up the screen. The other was just a simple burst off the line beating Zack Martin and getting at Romo before he could make a read.
Plenty of pass deflections for the Cowboys as I made some errant passes with Locker. Sean Lee had 3 (the 3rd could have ended the game if he intercepted it), Brandon Carr 2, and Selvie, Claiborne, Church and Carter had 1 each. Brandon Harris the only 1 recorded by the Titans.
4 Drops in total - 2 for Kendall Wright, 1 each for Williams and Murray.
Game was won with a high catch by Hunter who held on as he was hit by two defenders.
All in all a very pleasing gameplay experience. Think the Cowboys were a little bit light on offence (especially in the 1st half - Romo was 4/12 at the half) but their D put them into a lead.
