Panthers feast on Cowboys, now 11-0

Kuechly intercepted two straight passes by Romo, returning the first 32 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.

Romo, 35, has sustained three fractures on his left clavicle over the past five years.

Sadly, the season can’t end too soon. Instead the team became a train wreck, and nearly unwatchable altogether.

Panther coach Ron Rivera said they practiced plays like those and this time it worked out.

In Detroit, quarterback Matthew Stafford tied a personal best with five scoring passes and the red-hot Lions demolished the Eagles.

“It goes without saying that’s hard”, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said.

Meanwhile, Romo admitted that he was frustrated with his play (11 of 21, 106 yards, 0 TDs, 3 INTs) before he left the game.

The loss of Romo has many experts believing that this could be the end of a disappointing season for the Cowboys, who are defending NFC East division champions.

On his radio show on 105.3 The Fan, Jones discussed how bringing Romo back this season, was worth it for the Cowboys as they tried to get back into the playoff race.

The question now turns to Romo’s future after breaking his collarbone for the third time in his career.

Romo is averaging about $18 million through the life of his contract signed before the season.

The Packers had two turnovers Sunday – a fumble by Eddie Lacy and an interception by Rodgers – after entering the game with a league-low six. Running back Darren McFadden will likely see plenty of carries in the upcoming weeks, as he leads the team in rushing yards. But even if he had gotten through the night healthy, his performance in the game against the undefeated Panthers was a clear indication that he was not really capable of creating a miracle finish for Dallas. His Carolina Panthers are off to a franchise-best 11-0 start and he’s been celebrating every chance he gets. They don’t play again until December 7 against the Washington Redskins, and players are off until Wednesday.

-SPECIAL TEAMS: D. Cornerback Byron Jones aided a Panthers touchdown drive when he was flagged for leaping on a field-goal attempt when he fell on top of another player. Despite a fairly solid effort from the defense that only gave up one touchdown to Cam Newton and the Panthers, Romo’s miscues made it virtually impossible for Dallas. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are expected to have a high pick in the upcoming National Football League draft.

There isn’t much that Jason Garrett can do when the starting quarterback throws three interceptions in the game. They weren’t and they lost because of it. The defense was coached as well as ever and did what they needed to for most of the game.
