Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo breaks left collarbone
Murray plays for Philadelphia, though he probably wishes he never left Dallas.
“Very disappointing, we couldn’t get anything started”, Kelly said of his team’s performance in its home opener.
The Dallas Cowboys have a tough season ahead of them after three of its best players.
Brandon Weeden replaced Romo against the Eagles and threw a clinching 42-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Williams in the fourth quarter. Head coach Chip Kelly has managed to keep opponents off balance in his first two years with his up-tempo style of play and read option game, but opposing defensive coordinators seem to be getting wise to the game. That didn’t happen. As a matter of fact, they looked even worse.
The Eagles ran for 7 yards. “I’m not anxious about rushing yards or touchdowns. I’d like to say they did something different than what we expected, but I don’t think they did”. “It’s as simple as that”.
Hs sustained the injury when he was sacked by Eagles linebacker Jordan Hicks in the third quarter.
The left clavicle of Tony Romo was also injured in October 2010 when the Cowboys lost to the San Francisco Giants. It’s a broken bone. This weekend, the former second round pick out of Penn State recorded a total of 14 tackles, two passes defended and had a critical interception in the Eagles’ endzone. But Bradford fumbled a shotgun snap on the next play and Nick Hayden recovered for Dallas. Facial expressions and explicit hand gestures said it all as they left the Lincoln Financial Field Sunday night. That’s the question of the hour, and it’s one we can answer using established methods.
Weeden finished up nicely, taking a 13-3 lead and adding a touchdown to the ledger on a 7-for-7 passing day for 73 yards. Only two teams in the last six years have been able to qualify for the playoffs after an 0-2 start: the Colts in 2014 and the 7-8-1 Carolina Panthers in 2013. Murray has 11 yards on 21 runs in two games. The offensive line couldn’t handle the Cowboys’ stunts, leading to multiple blown blocks. “That includes the coaches”. Randle’s 3.4 yards per carry and McFadden’s 2.9 are far from tops in the league. He is on the injury report for this week’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and his absence will be felt. Alonzo, whom the Eagles acquired in a trade with Buffalo for RB LeSean McCoy, missed all of last season with a torn ACL in his left knee.
Worth noting here is Aaron Rodgers return from a similar injury in 2013. The team said he’ll be evaluated on Monday. LG Ronald Leary was out for Dallas.
