Tony Romo should get Cowboys back on track against Dolphins
Todd Archer, ESPN Staff Writer
Tony Romo is back and all is expected to be well with the Dallas Cowboys, right? In the season opener the Cowboys needed Romo’s late-game heroics and atrocious clock management by the New York Giants to win. Before he got hurt in Week 2 against Philadelphia, the offense contributed two field goals.
There is no doubt the Cowboys will be better with Romo than they have been the past seven weeks, but they also need to be better than they were in the first two games with Romo. The Miami Dolphins had four sacks and 10 hits on Eagles quarterbacks in Week 10. Coach Jason Garrett said the Cowboys don’t want Romo to feel he needs to save the day. In reality, he needs to save the season, and if they don’t win Sunday, it’s over.
After missing three games in 2008 with a broken pinky, Romo completed 19 of 27 passes for 198 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in a 14-10 victory at Washington. There was some rust then and there will be rust now. But he will deliver. Cowboys 26, Dolphins 17
