Cowboys’ Romo Active as He Moves Into Backup Role
Colin Kaepernick completed 16 of 30 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns for the 49ers (1-9), who lost their ninth straight game – matching a franchise record set in 1978.
Bell finished with a season-high 146 yards rushing. “It was a great win”.
Prescott methodically dominated Baltimore’s defence in this second half, with Elliott finishing with a combined 122 yards, none of which came easily.
So in the end, everybody eats.
The other prized rookie in Dallas’ offensive backfield, Ezekiel Elliott, added to his growing collection of team records.
But it wasn’t all fun and games.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Romo first choice for a potential destination next season is the Broncos. Three NFL teams previously went 0-11 before winning a game, while seven had even worse starts. The Ravens’ run game did the rest. We had to be persistent with that. “It’s a four quarter game, it’s a long game and guys aren’t trying to get hit in the mouth for that long”. LeGarrette Blount rushed for 124 yards on 19 carries for the Patriots (8-2) and Julian Edelman caught eight passes for 77 yards and a touchdown.
In Baltimore’s first four possessions Sunday at AT&T Stadium, the Ravens were forced to punt three times and had just two first downs. A back injury, that head coach John Harbaugh claimed was not a “concern” earlier this week, kept Smith out of the game.
Baltimore had the ball for only 24:21 and committed 12 penalties for 136 yards.
“That one drive, we just didn’t play like we normally play and you’ve got to give credit to them on that”, linebacker Sean Lee said. Let’s just chip away at this. “His decision making was outstanding as the game wore on”.
But the Cowboys’ top-ranked offense not only made a first down after facing first-and-30 in second quarter, they cashed in.
But Dallas had scoring drives of 92 and 88 yards to start the second half, breaking a 10-10 tie.
After Jarvis Landry caught a 10-yard TD pass with 4:02 to play, the Dolphins got the ball right back and drove downfield for Parker’s diving TD reception in the corner.
The Cowboys have a quick turnaround as they play the Redskins on Thursday for the Thanksgiving game. “We hadn’t beaten them since they’ve been the Ravens”. Bottom line, they needed to play a whole lot better to win on the road against a tough opponent.
Denver, after drafting Lynch in the first round last season, would have to decide if pursuing Romo (a huge short-term gain) would be worth the cost and move. None of the previous three teams won the Super Bowl. He was clearly not up to the task of covering by Cowboys’ wide receiver Dez Bryant.
Jason Witten is at 1,069 catches for his career – you know, since for some reason we had to emphasize career catches in today’s game.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians did not want to discuss the officiating after his team’s 30-24 loss to the Vikings, but his son wasn’t shy about expressing his thoughts on one particular key play, firing off a tweet with an obscenity directed at the National Football League and its game officials.
