Cowboys confirm QB Romo out for season with fractured collarbone

“We’re trying to get a victory”, free safety Dashon Goldson said.

Romo suffered an injury to the same left collarbone that kept him out for seven games. Romo was clutching his left clavicle, the same bone he fractured earlier this year. But Garrett noted that Romo wasn’t as far removed from back surgery a year ago, and the Cowboys played a Sunday night game before losing to Philadelphia four days later.

Before Romo left, he helped tip the game in the Panthers’ favor as they returned two interceptions for touchdowns.

Romo struggled in his second game back from injury as he completed just eight of 17 passes for 82 yards and the three interceptions in the first half.

“We started fast on defense”, Kuechly said. Though finishing the regular season with a 16-0 record is a severely rare occasion, we at Football.com still want to research the question; can the Panthers win their last six games and go undefeated in the regular season?

Still, it’s the knockout blow to the Cowboys season that started with such high expectations. He finished 27 of 38 for 337 yards and threw five TDs for the fourth time in his career.

Romo was injured Thursday on the final play of the third quarter on a sack by Carolina linebacker Thomas Davis. Cursed with just two full games with Romo at the helm, Bryant has been either suffocated by elite corners (Richard Sherman and Josh Norman) or on the sidelines for much of the season. Some of the decisions and poor decisions that I made were just uncharacteristic and very frustrating and cost our team today.

Panther coach Ron Rivera said they practise plays like those and this time it worked out.

KUECHLY THE CAPTAIN: Carolina led 13-3 when Kuechly and the NFL’s leading defense for takeaways put the Panthers firmly in control. This time, Kuechly jumped to haul in a pass over the middle intended for tight end Jason Witten. How dependable is Romo to stay on the field? “But in my eyes, he’ll always be Captain America because he makes every play, he shows up, and he prepares extremely well”. I really put our team in a hole. Romo actually won his first of those, against Buffalo in 2007.

-WR Jerricho Cotchery was the most dynamic player for the Carolina offense, with the possible exception of Newton. It had already been a long season for the Dallas Cowboys and a long Thanksgiving day afternoon against the Carolina Panthers when both got even longer late in the third quarter. He missed the last 15 games with Carolina last season because of his arrest in a domestic violence case….
