Raise your hand if you thought Phillip Tanner was going to have more playing time than Felix Jones. That’s what happened. Jones was banged up a couple of times during the game, and Jason Garrett had no problem leaning on Tanner to close out the game. He had six of the game’s last eight carries. ...
