Cundiff goes from wretched to record book\nIRVING, Texas -- Billy Cundiff might have considered scanning the want ads last week, yet now he can open the NFL record book and find his name after making seven field goals.\nCundiff hit from 37, 49, 42, 21 and 36 yards as Dallas built a 29-14 lead Monday night against the New York Giants. For someone who'd never made more than two in a game, and whose previous career best was 48, it was already a game to remember.\nThen, the Cowboys found themselves down by three in the closing seconds. After a pass to the 36, Cundiff trotted out again -- this time to try a 52-yarder.
