STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - Seahawks are NFL-best 20-6 heading into bye. ... Seahawks have franchise-record 18 straight games of at least 100 yards rushing, and Marshawn Lynch leads league with 58 total touchdowns since 2011. ... Dallas' Jason Witten (456) and Seattle's Jimmy Graham (417) are top two in receptions for TEs since 2010. ... Seattle's Russell Wilson is only NFL QB with more than 10,000 yards passing, more than 2,000 yards rushing and 95-plus rating since 2012. ... Seahawks WR-KR Tyler Lockett is only rookie in NFL history with touchdowns on catch, punt return and kickoff return in first seven games. Cowboys lost at Giants on former teammate Dwayne Harris' 100-yard kickoff return last week. ... DE Michael Bennett, brother of former Dallas TE Martellus Bennett, had career-high 3 1-2 sacks against 49ers and has 6 1-2 for season, tied for NFL lead with Cincinnati's Carlos Dunlap and New England's Chandler Jones. ... Cowboys QB Matt Cassel is 2-0 as starter against Seattle, one each with New England and Kansas City. ... RB Darren McFadden will make first start for Dallas after rushing for 152 yards on 29 carries against Giants. Yardage was his most since 2011; carries were his most since 2012. He had 111 yards against Seattle with Oakland in 2010. ... WR Dez Bryant could return after missing five games with broken right foot. ... Cowboys are 0-4 without Bryant and QB Tony Romo, who will miss at least three more games with broken left collarbone. ... Dallas' last five-game losing streak in 2010 resulted in firing of coach Wade Phillips and promotion of Jason Garrett, who needs one win to tie Jimmy Johnson for second most in franchise history at 44. ... Witten needs one TD catch to become fifth TE in NFL history with at least 60 for career. ... Lucky Whitehead set franchise record for WR with four carries and had 35 yards against Giants. Last Dallas WR with three rushes was Kevin Williams against Arizona in 1995. ... DE Greg Hardy has sacks in career-best six straight games going back to time in Carolina. It's longest active sacks streak in NFL. ... Fantasy Tip: While Bryant is risky play even if active, McFadden is good bet because Cowboys are likely to get him more than 20 carries if game plan allows.
