Tony Romo's latest A-list girlfriend and his parents came
to Texas Stadium to see the Dallas Cowboys play their final home game before
the playoffs. They were treated to Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles
beginning their last-gasp bid to get into the playoffs, too.
McNabb wasn't his old self, but he was good enough -- and certainly
better than the out-of-whack and possibly injured Romo, leading the Eagles past
the Cowboys 10-6 Sunday.
Philadelphia
(6-8) could've won by more, but Brian Westbrook broke free for a 24-yard run
with a little more than two minutes left. Instead of sprinting into the end
zone, he stopped at the 1. Dallas
(12-2) was out of timeouts, so the Eagles were able to take a knee on three
straight plays rather take any chances.
Philadelphia
had lost three straight and was still smarting from a nationally televised
blowout loss to Dallas six weeks
ago. Revenge was sweet as the Eagles
ended the Cowboys' seven-game winning streak and prevented them from tying the
franchise record for wins in a season.
Romo started 0-for-6 and wasn't doing much better when he injured
his throwing hand in the third quarter. Considering the stirring comeback wins
he led at Detroit last week and at Buffalo
in October, fans were hoping to see one at home, especially after he converted
a fourth down in the final four minutes. But two snaps later, Terrell Owens
fell making a cut toward a sideline and Romo wound up with his third
interception.
The Cowboys are still headed toward the most points in
franchise history, but this was their first game without a touchdown since November
2004. They also had their fewest yards of the season.
