Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo proved he could bounce back once again. But this time he did it in tricky December, amid concerns where his passes were headed and with a bruised lower back.

The Cowboys quit bickering and searching for locker room snitches long enough to beat the NFL’s best team. Impressive. Hey, give the coach some credit too, now that Wade Phillips has finally revealed he’s calling all of the defensive signals, because this unit put on another dazzling performance against New York, sacking Eli Manning eight times and keeping the Giants out of the end...

Blown lead vs. Steelers hurts Cowboys in many ways... →
With a late lead in Pittsburgh, the Dallas Cowboys had everything they wanted right in front of them:
A shove in the right direction to start a tough final month. A boost in the wild-card race. A chance to douse all the talk about their tendency to fall apart after Thanksgiving.
