Tony Romo finished for the season
There’s still one more Color Rush game scheduled this season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the St Louis Rams in a game featuring red and “yellow-gold” uniforms on December 17th.
“It’s in the same shoulder that he was out for…so that is a concern from the standpoint of the games ahead”, Jones said.
Romo told reporters after the game that the injury had a “similar feeling” to when he fractured his clavicle in Week 2. That’s the respect the Cowboys command with a healthy Romo.
The Carolina defense set the tone and put the Panthers (11-0) in command by halftime.
Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly intercepted two straight passes by Romo, returning the first 32 yards for a touchdown. When you haven’t played for stretches of time, sometimes it’s hard to get back in rhythm, particularly at that position.
“Our turnovers gave them 17 points and we can’t do that against a team that’s undefeated”, Dallas head coach Jason Garrett said. They’re physical. They make plays on the ball and it just seems like they’re everywhere. If it’s more Matt Cassel or Kellen Moore, it’ll take a complete suspension of precedence and reality.
“I’m just very disappointed in not giving our team the chance to win today”. “Bene (Benwikere) laid a good block on someone, and I was able to scurry in there”.
The Panthers (11-0) jumped out in front on the game’s third play when safety Kurt Coleman picked off Romo and zigzagged his way 36 yards to the end zone.
Hardy, who spent his first five seasons in Charlotte, has a history of showing up late – and sometimes not all – to meetings and practices with Carolina and Dallas. “Defense went out there and brought their A-game and made our job a lot easier”.
Tony Romo, playing in just his second game since returning from a broken collarbone, threw three interceptions. A pair of pick-6s and another first-half INT handed Dallas an insurmountable deficit in a must-win situation.
Even though they were going to lose to Carolina anyway, the Cowboys were still 3-0 with Romo and 0-7 without him headed into Thursday. After all, they had Romo back at least. “They got those two and got two touchdowns”. He has given up 13 pick-six plays in his career…. The sold out crowd will be forgoing their turkey dinners to watch their beloved Cowboys in what’s become their own Thanksgiving Day tradition, with the team playing on Turkey Day for the past 19 seasons!
Newton finished the game 16 of 27 for 183 yards in the win – the 15th consecutive regular season win for the Panthers, dating back to last season.
