Dez Bryant Had Surgery To fix Broken Metatarsal — NFL News

Romo leaned on Jason Witten once Dez went down on Sunday night, and he’ll likely continue to do so. Romo would end up dumping the first to passes off to Lance Dunbar for 26 and 16-yard completions then the next play he would connect with Witten for a 13-yard completion. “It’s a amazing feeling to see him score in that winning touchdown”. It was a fantastic home opener for Dallas.

Bryant greeted his teammates near the locker room after they came off the field. “He’s obviously close to me”, Romo said after his franchise-record 24th fourth-quarter comeback. With a pass play called Eli Manning threw the ball away rather than take a sack, leaving the Cowboys time to put together a game-winning drive.

But Giants coach Tom Coughlin took the blame as well.

Manning wasn’t without fault. That’s 100 percent on me. The injury could keep the wide receiver out till October 26 when they face the Giants in the reverse match-up or till November 1, during the match-up with Seattle Seahawks at AT&T Stadium. The boys in the Big-D didn’t have much of a running game; New York held them to only 80 rushing yards. Throughout his career he has thrown a total of 33,270 yards, 242 TD’s, 110 interceptions.

The New York Giants will host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. Twice, the Giants were forced to settle for field goals.

Dallas responded with its first touchdown.

The Dallas Cowboys were relying heavily on Bryant this season. “That’s a problem, and we’ve got to address it”. Rashad Jennings scored on the next play, and the Giants appeared on their way to an upset. The Cowboys were down 23-20 with 5:11 to play. That gave Romo a better chance of finding an open receiver. He had 16 carries for 65 yards, and Darren McFadden had six for 16.

Dallas trailed at halftime despite dominating in total yardage (201-86) and time of possession (22:06-7:54). In that span, Romo was near perfect, completing 12 of his 14 passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns. Those are opportunities that the Cowboys can’t afford to miss moving forward. Bryant has been Romo’s favorite receiver and for good reason.

“Everybody scratching, clawing, competing, fighting, fighting for our goals, fighting to be their best, fighting for each other, all that stuff was very present”, Garrett said. Brown split the uprights from 50 yards out. Dan Bailey’s extra point gave Dallas the improbable victory.
