Hardy makes Dez seem level-headed

In an unusual, on-field, in-game lashing out, Hardy broke into a Cowboys special teams huddle after the unit allowed a 100-yard touchdown return in the fourth quarter of a 27-20 loss to the NFC East rival New York Giants.

The defensive lineman was appearing in only his second game for the Cowboys; he missed this season’s first four games while suspended under the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

He joined Dallas as a free agent after playing in only one game last season for the Carolina Panthers.

5 UNBEATENS: Carolina’s 27-16 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night made the Panthers 6-0, the first time in NFL history five clubs won their first half-dozen games.

The Colts are only 1-4 when Luck starts this season, including a 27-21 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.

Mike McCoy of San Diego (2-5 after what he termed a “pathetic” 37-29 loss to Oakland), Jim Caldwell of Detroit (1-6 after a 28-19 loss to Minnesota), or Chuck Pagano of Indianapolis (3-4, but 0-4 outside the AFC South).
