Just another day in paradise for Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys, who are now 4-0 while the St. Louis Ewes drop to 0-4.
Some guys have all the luck.
Wade Phillips, the new head coach for the Dallas Cowboys, after four games this season has yet to experience his first loss as Dallas’ coach.
Ok, so Dallas only had 171 total yards of rushing (Julius Jones led the way with 52 yards on 13 carries for a touchdown). They went 4-0 on the season and are atop the NFC East with a 35-7 win over the St. Louis Rams.
Included, though, in those rushing yards was a play at the end of the second quarter that effectively sealed the game for Dallas.
Facing a third and 3 at the Rams 50 with 56 seconds left in the half, a bad shot gun snap had to be chased down by quarterback Tony Romo, who finally chased it down at the Dallas 17. Almost certainly a huge loss and a punting situation (St. Louis had already returned one Dallas punt for a TD), Romo scrambled and eturned it to the Rams 46 yard-line for a first down.
Romo then went on to scramble 15 yards for a TD. The score then became 14-7 Dallas, and they went on to put things away against a Rams team with a struggling offense.
Romo completed 21 of 33 passes for 339 yards, three touchdowns (two to Patrick Crayton) and one interception. Crayton had seven catches for 184 yards.
The Cowboys defense roughed up Rams QBs Marc Bulger and Gus Frerotte, who were a combined 14-30 with 143 yards, no TD passes and one pick.
The game was hardly a contest, with the Cowboys getting 28 first downs to the Rams’ 12, converting eight of 13 third downs to the Rams’ three of 12, and getting 502 total yards to the Rams’ 187.
Dallas plays at Buffalo next week. Do I think Dallas will go 5-0? Any team can win on any given Sunday. That is all.
