Offensive Game Ball: Tony Romohttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/tony-romo/172ae69b-87c1-49f5-a2e6-5ed85b6d5dfc/)
When head coach Jason Garrett and this offense needed him the most, Romo was at his best. This is one of those games where Romo was more about beating Philadelphia with his head than just with his skills. His ability to read what the Eagles were doing coverage-wise was the reason for the Cowboys’ success in the second half. The throw to Miles Austinhttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/miles-austin/766f07f9-aa05-4b55-add0-eed1e7e84dd9/) was all about Romo’s skill, but the throw to Dez Bryanthttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/dez-bryant/e61ca891-9bbe-4449-98b1-d7837f6e4874/) was his ability to read the coverage and Bryant doing a much better job of keeping his route wide to give Romo the opportunity to fit the ball in there for the go-ahead touchdown. It was a throw that they missed last week against the Falcons, but were able to connect with in this game at a key time.

Defensive Game Ball: Anthony Spencerhttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/anthony-spencer/4420ec7e-af33-49d2-8901-31f50f6389da/)
For weeks I have questioned when Spencer would make a sack that would kill a game for this defense. There were times when I felt like he was clearly better than the offensive tackles he was going against, but he seemed to come up short in the way he played. This week, it was a different story and he was able to deliver. Spencer was dominant, and like Romo, when this team needed him the most, he was able to beat his man, knocking the ball out of Nick Foles’ hands and creating a much-needed turnover and points as well. Spencer was a factor the entire game and the more the Eagles focused on him, the better he played. For that, he gets my game ball.

For weeks? We been questioning it for years. Also that was a 2nd stringer he was dominating.

Ware didn't dominate his 2nd stringer did he?

[Chocolate Lab]

Right, 4 out of the 5 OL for the Eagles were 2nd stringers.

Felix Jones was a nice surprise, and so was Harris. I'd give them game balls for truly influencing how the game flowed.

I was wondering how they didnt get much pressure all game. Seemed to have lots of zone dialed up for Vick I am guessing?

Felix is playing for a spot on this team... and his NFL career.

I think we should give a game ball to King Dunlap.

I'm not apologizing.

So are ours.:D

[TonyS]

Game ball should go to Dunlap from the Egals. His penalties and mistakes were drive killers.

[morasp]

With that offensive line I thought we would generate a lot more pressure on the quarterback. Even after Pam Oliver said the plan in the second half was to put more pressure on the rookie quarterback it seemed like he had a lot time in the pocket.

[CowboysYanksLakers]

I think Bruuuuuuuuce Carter deserved a game ball as well.
