Cowboys Quarterback Tony Romo Is Out For Remainder of the Season

But even in a weak NFC East many wondered if Romo was being rushed back to play in what looked to be a lost season.

Atlanta faces the Minnesota Vikings as the Falcons are trying to avoid becoming the 14th team in history to miss the playoffs after a 5-0 start to the season.

Thursday was only Romo’s second game back after he broke his collarbone earlier in the season.

“He’s a special player”, said Davis, the other half of Carolina’s dynamic linebacking duo. The following game, they lost their starting quarterback Tony Romo for eight weeks due to a fractured left collarbone.

The team said that X-rays were inconclusive and the 35-year-old quarterback will undergo further tests on Friday. He rolled over on his left shoulder as he was tackled, and said after the game it was a similar feeling. They were already well on their way to a loss this time a week after Romo ended the seven-game skid in his return last week at Miami. With a 17-point lead in the third quarter, Newton led an 80-yard touchdown drive that drained more than seven minutes off the clock. The Panthers (11-0) had three interceptions before halftime, and returned two of those for touchdowns. Coming off the bench Thursday, he completed 13 of 19 passes for 93 yards and had a 2-yard touchdown pass to Cole Beasley in the fourth quarter. “Greg is a person that came in and worked hard, gave everybody everything that he had and a person that you love to watch on Sundays”. “I feel like, in some ways, I couldn’t quite get myself into the same mental framework, the way I’m used to playing”. It was going to take a little bit of time.

“I’m just very disappointed in not giving our team the chance to win today”. The game was tied at 10 in the third quarter when Shorts threw a 21-yard TD pass to Alfred Blue. Cassel’s struggle underscores the fact a backup quarterback hasn’t won a game for the Cowboys since Stephen McGee did so at the end of the ’10 season.

Arlington, Texas – Cam Newton sprinted to a corner of the $1.2 billion showplace of the Cowboys, pointing a camera at celebrating Carolina fans while gesturing to them with a wide smile. “Defense went out there and brought their A-game and made our job a lot easier”.

After Romo was hurt in Philadelphia, he went on injured reserve with a designation to return – and his first game eligible to play again was Sunday against the Dolphins. A pair of pick-6s and another first-half INT handed Dallas an insurmountable deficit in a must-win situation. He missed the last 15 games with Carolina last season because of his arrest in a domestic violence case, and has been a target of heavy criticism – some of it self-inflicted – since serving a four-game suspension to start this season.
