DeMarcus Ware, Jan. 2, 2011: For those who believed linebacker DeMarcus Ware could do it all, here was proof. The Philadelphia Eagles were playoff-bound, but Ware made four solo tackles, sacked the quarterback three times and scored on a fumble recovery. The Dallas Cowboys prevailed, 14-13, in Philadelphia.
