i was asking myself the same very question. i'm thinking that the refs didnt blow the whistle because the CB didnt block his face. but i thought it was a face guarding and a flag should have been thrown but hey it won the game for the cowboys.
to the guy who posted be4 me, Green i think was the CB, did make early contact with Owens.

You need to read the NFL rules - face guarding is no longer a penalty, unless contact is made with the receiver.
I've seen this question a few times recently, and I'm surprised that so many people still believe this call is even on the books anymore. It's even mentioned on this Q&A with an official:
