Terrell Owens burned the Miami Dolphins, mocked the New England Patriots, and savored a 2-0 start by the Dallas Cowboys.

Owens’s fourth-down touchdown reception with four minutes left yesterday helped seal the Cowboys’ 37-20 win in Miami. He celebrated by leaning against the goal post and holding the ball to his face as if videotaping with it, his way of poking fun at the spying scandal involving Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

“It was all in good fun,” Owens said with a grin. “I hope they don’t give me a hefty fine like they gave Belichick.”

Owens did receive a 15-yard penalty for “using the goal post as a prop,” but by then the Cowboys were ahead, 30-13, thanks in large part to their ball-hawking defense.

After winning a shootout in the season opener, the Cowboys this time relied on five takeaways. They intercepted Trent Green four times and recovered a fumbled snap. Green also fumbled attempting a spike play late in the first half, possibly costing Miami points.

Dallas came from behind twice and nursed a 20-13 lead early in the fourth quarter, then sealed the win with two touchdowns in the final 4:08. The Cowboys committed no turnovers, while Anthony Henry had two interceptions and Ken Hamlin and Roy Williams had one each.

The Cowboys have won their first two games for the first time since 1999, when they started 3-0 but finished 8-8. Miami is 0-2 for the third time in four seasons.

Tony Romo went 14 of 29 for 186 yards and two scores, and added 36 yards on four runs. Romo threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Tony Curtis and hit Owens for a 34-yard score.
