Carolina Panthers at Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys were able to beat the Dolphins with Dez being held in check by Brent Grimes.
SHORT WEEK: Romo had his worst game last season on Thanksgiving, and acknowledged the short rest affected his recovery with his surgically repaired back.
“We’ve heard it, so it’s out there and we all know how it turned out so we’ll hopefully think about that and get ourselves ready to go”, Rivera said. Dallas converted seven of their 14 third down opportunities at Miami and they controlled the time of possession holding the ball for over 38 minutes. According to STATS, he’s the only quarterback in National Football League history with multiple wins against teams that were 9-0 or better – Indianapolis (9-0) in his fourth career start in 2006 and New Orleans (13-0) three years later.
The Cowboys trailed, 30-6, when Romo left.
However, the the operator of the Trans World Dome in St. Louis said the Rams’ lease agreement prohibits the team from playing home games elsewhere. Football experts aren’t expecting Dallas to get back in the mix, yet this squad has all of the players needed to win out if they play up to their capabilities.
“You take it as a challenge and it makes it even more enjoyable, if that makes any sense”. On the ground, Darren McFadded rushed for 129 yards in 29 attempts. “It just gives you an extra boost”. Tony Romo completed 18 of 28 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns against two interceptions.
The Dallas Cowboys finally broke out of a 7 game losing streak with a convincing 10 point victory over the Miami Dolphins last week.
It’s not often that you see an undefeated team as an underdog but that’s the roll Cam Newton and the Panthers now find themselves in today against the Cowboys at 4:30PM ET. They’re 3-3 since coach Joe Philbin was sacked and replaced by Campbell. “The offensive line did a great job opening the holes, and I just try to hit them”. Philly will need every win they can get to keep pace with the Giants and a Cowboys team, which just got a huge boost from the return of Tony Romo. Nothing has stopped the Panthers thus far and while the Dallas Cowboys are undefeated in Romo’s three games, it is not as impressive as Cam Newton being undefeated in his ten games under center, nor is it as meaningful since the games are non-consecutive. “And then the mental side of it and trying to catch up with the plays and understanding what they’re doing and how to attack them and where they’re vulnerable and my thought process in those moments and all that”.
Even the defense said it made a difference.
