Why It Matters: It continues to be touchdown or bust for Ferguson, who had two TDs in Week 2 and another in Week 3 but has totaled just 36 yards on eight receptions in Dallas' other three games combined. Making matters worse, he had a pass go through his hands and clank off his facemask, resulting in an interception that ended the team's hopes of making a comeback.
