IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys were not always pleased with the work of referee Carl Cheffers in their 13-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Maybe they will feel better about having Ed Hochuli working Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Since 2010, the Cowboys are 4-1 with Hochuli as the official but three of the wins came by a combined eight points. In those five games the Cowboys have been penalized 40 times for 362 yards while their opponents -- the Washington Redskins (twice), Cleveland Browns, San Diego Chargers and Chicago Bears -- were flagged 35 times for 325 yards.

Last week, Hochuli’s crew worked the New York Jets-Oakland Raiders game and called 16 penalties, with 12 accepted. The Jets were flagged six times for 40 yards, while the Raiders had six for 61 yards.
