Tony Romo catches a great deal of unwarranted flack for the Dallas Cowboys' struggles in prior seasons, but this loss is on his shoulders.
The Cowboys fell to the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 28-17 Sunday. The story of the game was the turnovers on offense.
DeMarco Murray started this downward trend by fumbling on the second play of this first drive, which resulted in 49ers defensive back Chris Culliver returning it for a touchdown.
From there, Romo was very inaccurate, which was compounded by the bad decisions he made. These inaccurate throws and bad decisions resulted in Romo throwing three interceptions.
DeMarco Murray was the one bright spot on offense. After his initial fumble, he was very productive. Altogether, Murray had 22 carries for 118 yards and a touchdown. He earned the right to be featured heavily in the offense in future games.
The defense actually played much better than most expected it to. The defensive line was disruptive and active for most of the game. Bruce Carter and Rolando McClain were very productive throughout the game; however, the secondary was very porous for most of the game.
The Cowboys will need to fix these mistakes quickly before they play the Tennessee Titans next week.
Let’s take a look at how each position graded out in this Week 1 matchup.
