Cowboys’ Tony Romo could garner second-round pick if traded
Ezekiel Elliott set the Cowboys’ rookie rushing record, and there’ still multiple games left.
Elliott set an National Football League rookie record with four straight games of at least 130 yards rushing earlier this season.
Ravens: They have a key NFC North matchup with the Bengals in the first of consecutive home games.
Eli Manning threw for 227 yards and two touchdowns as the Giants recorded their fifth straight win, though it was far from straightforward as Chicago led 16-9 at the break.
“I’m told, already (Romo) has eyes on the Broncos as a possible destination if general manager John Elway decides Paxton Lynch needs another year and that Trevor Siemian isn’t the guy”, Ian Rapoport, and NFL Media Insider said online.
Flacco finished with 269 yards and a touchdown on 23-of-35 passing.
The Cowboys punted on their first four possessions – a first this season – against the NFL’s No. 1 defense.
But Elliott is just happy to be part of a winning formula at this point.
Prescott tied the game midway through the second frame with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Cole Beasley. “We felt like we had them on the ropes and we let them off the hook”.
BLOCKING CAROUSEL: The Ravens protected Flacco well (one sack) and averaged 6.3 yards per carry in limited chances in the running game.
“Bittersweet, I guess, ” he said. There are plenty of jokes we can make: Blair Walsh was probably smiling where ever he watched the game; Jason Licht and Mike Tomlin, too, as they look like visionaries – Tampa for drafting a second-round kicker and the Steelers for attempting two-pointers more than any other team in the NFL. “It is going to be a different kind of challenge for them”. “All they can really do is cut me low, so I’ve got to catch them when it’s right and get the hurdle”.
Romo could, of course, choose to retire, but the emotional statement he read gave no hint of that and Rapoport adds that Jason Witten, the Cowboys tight end who is close to Romo, doesn’t believe that will happen.
There is another way to get Bryant going these days. He’s like a sponge, he wants to know everything. “We just have to clean up some stupid stuff”. “It’s a wonderful thing”. Say what you will about owner Jerry Jones’s track record of personnel decisions, he would be foolish to move away from this formula.
“I feel like I have been misunderstood for so long”, said Bryant, who had off-field issues early in his career and several emotional outbursts on the sidelines.
