He’s back!
After eight long weeks and seven crushing defeats, the Dallas Cowboys welcomed back quarterback Tony Romo to the field as they took on the Miami Dolphins Sunday afternoon at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.
With Romo’s presence on the field, the Cowboys’ confidence, along with their ability to finish games, returned. The Cowboys took a 7-0 lead with the help of a Rolando McClain interception returned 12 yards for a touchdown, and they never looked back.
The Cowboys had been tied or ahead in the fourth quarter in six of their seven losses, but without their leader, they failed to finish the job in any of those opportunities.
But with the captain back at his post, yet another trend reversed. With the score tied 14-14 at the end of the third quarter, the Cowboys opened the final stanza with a bang, as Romo hit Dez Bryant for a 16-yard touchdown to help put the team up 21-14. From that point, not only did the Cowboys hold the lead, but they extended it to 24-14 with a Dan Bailey 30-yard field goal.
When they took possession up 10 points with 6:29 left in the game, the Cowboys were able to convert four first downs and take 5:25 off the clock, effectively ending the game.
