Romo on the mark in return

It was the duo’s 50th touchdown connection, surpassing the Cowboys record formerly held by Hall-of-Famers Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin. They trail the NY Giants by two games. And let them end just as abruptly.

The difference between the Cassel-Weeden failures and the Romo time is staggering.

Campbell said Bobby McCain is more of a nickel corner and the team is happy with now as Brice McCain as the slot corner. Wide receiver/kickoff returner Jarvis Landry botched a kickoff return, quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown, center Mike Pouncey got flagged for an illegal chop block, wide receiver Rishard Matthews dropped a pass on third down that would have gained first down yardage. It’s still a long shot overcoming 7 consecutive losses.

Dallas was able to get back to running the football effectively against the ‘Phins after a down performance in Week 10 against Tampa Bay.

This from the team that failed to score any touchdowns in three of seven games without Romo. It was arguably Vernon’s best game of the season. Stills arrived in Miami this past offseason with the reputation as a deep threat, and he showed that on Sunday with a 29-yard over-the-top score. This team is going to need him to play like a MVP if they are going to do what you are even talking about (playoffs). Surely Romo’s return has everything to do with that anomaly. Romo has done his best to convey that message to his teammates. Every single one of those penalties backed up the Dolphins offense, most negated a positive play, and crushed any momentum the team was building. Romo led the Cowboys to victory in much the same way he did in 2014 – he handed the ball off. A lot. Had they done that, it’s Cowboys ball inside the Miami five. If this is any of the other quarterbacks that Dallas has used in Romo’s absence it would nearly certainly result in a safety.

CHIEFS 33, CHARGERS 3: In San Diego, Justin Houston intercepted Philip Rivers’ pass and returned it 17 yards for a touchdown and 346-pound defensive tackle Dontari Poe leaped over the pile for a 1-yard touchdown as Kansas City embarrassed San Diego for its fourth straight win after a five-game losing streak.

Tony Romo and Dez Bryant, reunited and it feels so good.

Not surprisingly, Romo looked a bit rusty.

TJ Yates led Houston to a late-game win over Cincinnati last Monday night and that earned him his first start of the season on Sunday.

The Dolphins, 0-4 in division games and 2-5 in conference games, are still clinging to their playoff hopes. Considering how much criticism Bryant has received in the past few weeks since his return from injury, it was nice for Cowboys fans to hear how motivated he was to win this week. On the flip side, the Carolina Panthers are undefeated, scrappy and more than willing to beat up anyone who dares to face off against them on the gridiron. The offensive, offensive line?

The Dallas Cowboys finally snapped their seven-game losing streak with an impressive showing against the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. If you include London, which was a home game, the Dolphins are 1-3 in home games this season.

The two hooked up for a 16-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to break a tie as the Cowboys pulled away for a 24-14 victory over the Dolphins on Sunday at Sun Life Stadium.

Tony Romo is back.
