Jerry Jones confirms the worst: Tony Romo is out for the season
Matt Cassel played the entire fourth quarter in Romo’s place.
Romo, who had 3 interceptions against the Panthers, has played in just four games in the 2015 regular season injuring his collarbone in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles last September.
Romo struggled in his second game back from injury as he completed just 8 of 17 passes for 82 yards and the three interceptions in the first half. Tony Romo might be out for good with the same injury that sidelined him for seven games. It would be something truly special if he were able to keep the Cowboys offense somewhat afloat without Romo sending passes his way, and he did have a 5/104/1 line a few weeks ago against a Philadelphia Eagles secondary that allowed three touchdowns to Calvin Johnson on Thanksgiving. Linebacker Luke Kuechly intercepted two straight passes, returning the first 32 yards for a touchdown, and setting up a field goal at the end of the half with the second. With Romo done for the season, the Cowboys might start looking ahead to next year, as their franchise quarterback will turn 36 before next season.
It has been a long season for Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys. In fact, I’m not positive at all that Romo finds his way back to the starting lineup as soon as next season. “You can take your inferior record and go home”.
“Yeah, you know, I’ve got diverse dancing ability”, Newton said after throwing for 183 yards and running for another 45.
“I’m just very disappointed in not giving our team a chance to win today”, Romo said.
Now back to that Carolina defense – Thomas Davis, with the sack! He suffered a distal clavicle fracture and was placed on the injured/designated return list, missing seven games.
“We have the X-ray, but we need more than that, but he certainly hurt his shoulder”, Dallas owner Jerry Jones said. The Cowboy’s next opponent will be the Redskins on December 7. Coleman eluded the Dallas offensive players in pursuit, crossing the field for a pick-six that gave Carolina a 7-0 lead with 14:15 remaining in the first quarter. But in my eyes, hell always be Captain America because he makes every play, he shows up, and he prepares extremely well.. “Of course, with Tony, the dream was if Tony could have come in, been the catalyst, played similarly and had results we had the week before against Miami, against a really great team… that it would’ve been the beginning of maybe something special”.
Added tight end Jason Witten: “The one thing about our team is that we’re a relentless group”. “We felt that the risk was worth the potential of having him be the impact he can be and he is on our team”, Jones told The Fan.
The Panthers have been a top 10 defense since 2012, when Kuechly joined them as a first-round pick. Cotchery had a game-high 73 yards receiving.
