National Football League notebook: Romo out for season after second collarbone injury

Cowboy’s Manager Jerry Jones confirmed the news. Romo felt the injury immediately, pounding his right fist to the turf.

Romo will be 36 next season, an age when most quarterbacks not named Peyton Manning or Tom Brady begin to see a decline. Those two losses spurred Dallas to seven straight defeats after Week Two. The teams former back-up quarterback Brandon Weeden was claimed by the Houston Texans after being released by the Cowboys once Romo returned to the team last week.

In Green Bay, quarterback Jay Cutler posted his first win at Lambeau Field and the Bears shocked the Packers to win on Thanksgiving Day for the first time since 1993.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said it was Kuechly who changed Carolina’s defensive play call in the second quarter after Romo audibled into a different play at the line of scrimmage.

Romo, in only his second game back after injuring his left collarbone, suffered the latest setback when he landed hard on his left shoulder after being sacked at the end of the third quarter of Thursday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers. He said that Romo was already 100 percent ready to return and that there is really a risk of re-hurting the broken collarbone, which he sustained during their Week 2 match against Philadelphia.

DeMarcus Ware’s lower back injury will keep him out of Sunday night’s showdown between the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots.

As a rookie, Griffin threw 20 touchdown passes to go with five interceptions while leading Washington to the playoffs.

“In my eyes, he will always be Captain America because he makes every play”, Newton said.

As good of an idea as this may sound, I think the Cowboys have to act sooner – much sooner.

Coleman intercepted Romo on the game’s third offensive play.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said that the incident was not a product of poor judgment.

The Cowboys are in last place in the NFC East and a candidate for the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, one year after going 12-4, winning the division and stoking Super Bowl hopes this season. “In the past, we’ve played against a few teams that have been undefeated”.

The Eagles lost cornerback Nolan Carroll for the rest of the season with a broken ankle suffered in the first half Thursday. Blame them getting behind, but they also couldn’t run before the game got out of hand.

With an elite defense that’s arguably better than any under Rivera, and Newton in the midst of what could be an MVP-caliber season, there’s little reason to doubt that the Panthers could become the third unbeaten team in National Football League history. Two of those interceptions were returned for touchdowns by the Panthers and the other resulted in a field goal. Cotchery had his best game of the season with five catches for 73 yards.
