Dallas Cowboys vs. Miami Dolphins

And this season is barely beyond its midpoint.

The Cowboys were able to bounce back from a turnover from Romo to take the regain the lead when he threw his pass between two defenders in the endzone for Bryant to claim.

The Bills encountered that harsh reality after EJ Manuel replaced Tyrod Taylor for consecutive losses against the Cincinnati Bengals on October 18 and Jacksonville Jaguars on October 25. The Cowboys simply exerted their will. And yes, a lot of credit goes to the quarterback, but it was truly a team win. The Dallas Cowboys are 2-7 with ZERO hope of winning a wild card spot in the playoffs. Having raced to a 2-0 start with Romo under center, they lost their last seven and will be excited at the prospect of Romo leading the way for their remaining seven games of the season.

Tony Romo’s return to the field couldn’t have come at a better time for the Dallas Cowboys or your fantasy football team. Hasselbeck led the Colts to close victories against Jacksonville and Houston while Luck was sidelined with a shoulder injury. Tannehill threw the football into a tight window completing the pass to Jordan Cameron for the 12-yard touchdown. Now he is gone for perhaps five weeks with a lacerated kidney and abdominal muscle injury.

When the quarterback is hurt, the team’s defense feels it. He said he has to find the balance between understanding game situations while making sure his passing fundamentals are up to speed. No one knows that better than the Arizona Cardinals.

Jason Garrett and Jerry Jones need a win if they want to get into the playoffs this season. The Cowboys have struggled mightily over the past seven games and are missing their leader on the field. It’s nearly ironic. The same player who has been criticized for his inability to lead his team during dire circumstances is now being counted on to turn an entire year of miscues and disappointments around. As with the Eagles, this is another case of the gap not being all that great between starter and backup. Toward the end of the first half, the Cowboys went on a 12 play, 93-yard drive which ended culminated in a 31-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Williams. He totaled a sack, eight tackles, three tackles for a loss and three quarterback hurries, and the Dolphins allowed only 2.3 yards per rush.

He has averaged 24 carries and 91 yards in four games since taking over the lead role when Randle was injured against the Giants. Romo has won 14 of his last 16 starts. This is a play that Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel are never going to make. The Cowboys reclaimed command of the game by proceeding to put points on the board on their next two possessions. Second, Gabbert wasn’t all that impressive.

Miami tied the score 14-14 on a Tannehill 29-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Kenny Stills with 5:20 left in the third quarter.
