The Cowboys wide receiver continues to excel, despite a discombobulated offense and a sometimes erratic quarterback. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)As the Dallas Cowboys continue to try to find some sort of identity on offense, one thing is clear: the Tony Romo-Miles Austin connection is firing on all cylinders.
Austin's production has been unrivaled through the first two weeks of the season. His 288 receiving yards leads the NFL by 85 yards, while his 20 receptions is tied for the league-lead. Combine these monster numbers with the fact that he has only one dropped pass and your looking at the best receiver in the game right now.
The 26-year old wide-out has been the epitome of consistency through two weeks.
Austin's numbers in the first two weeks have been almost identical; 10 receptions week one for 146 yards and a TD against the Washington Redskins, then 10 receptions for 142 yards (but no pay-dirt) Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Austin continues to beat corners on a regular basis, while also finding holes in the zone. He's been Romo's go-to target, as the receiver seems to always get the ball when the Cowboys need it the most.
While the running game struggles and Romo continues to try to get in sync with the rest of his receivers, Austin continues to be the one reliable facet of the offense.
