The Dallas Cowboys beat the Detroit Lions 28-27. Can you say America’s Team?
Damn this was an exciting game. The Dallas Cowboys of recent past years would have laid down and died, but not the new and improved Tony Romo Dallas Cowboys. This was like watching one of those old games with Roger Staubach where the game clock winds down to the last few seconds and the game is won by a finial toss and catch.
Tony Romo continues to set team records, today’s record was for the most consecutive games with a touchdown. Romo finished 35-of-44 for 307 yards and two touchdowns. With 110.4 Quarterback rating today, Tony Romo has 107.1 rating for the season. Not too bad for a kid that most of us thought would never see the playing field when he was signed.
Jason Witten caught a Tony Romo16-yard, go-ahead touchdown pass with 18 seconds left to put the Dallas Cowboys on top 28-27 over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Witten had a career day, catching 15 passes for 143 yards and one touchdown, but he also had a fumble that could have cost them the game.
Dallas moves to 12-1 and clinched the NFC East Division. The Dallas Cowboys are one step closer to earning home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Dallas Cowboys officially became the favorite to win the 2008 NFC Championship, and Bodog says they are 5/1 to win the Superbowl.
The Detroit Lions were a stepping stone the Dallas Cowboys were supposed to beat by thirty or forty points, not by one, It was a tough game and it could have easily gone the other way. But good teams figure out how to win, bad teams figure out how to loose.
So this year, it looks like the Dallas Cowboys are a good team. The history making record certainly says they are. ESPN ranks the Dallas Cowboys as Number Two, care to guess who Number One is? Maybe the only team to beat the Dallas Cowboys this year.
