Dez Stays Focused On Wins Despite Passing Major Milestone

MIAMI – On the first play of the fourth quarter, Dez Bryant lined up across from a linebacker and a safety and knew exactly what was going to happen.

“Before he even called the play, it was like ‘Touchdown,’” Bryant said. “I’m thinking in my head ’99.9 percent, this ball is probably coming here.’”

Sure enough, Bryant streaked across the field and beat both defenders comfortably. Given time to find him, Tony Romo lofted a 16-yard strike for a score – about as easy a touchdown as you’ll see at the professional level.

“I knew if I gave Tony a good view, he was going to put it there,” Bryant said.

The touchdown broke a 14-14 deadlock, and it wound up providing the game-winning points and helping snap a seven-game losing streak. It also etched the duo into Cowboys lore, as they connected on their 50th touchdown pass – the most in franchise history.

Fifty career connections is one more than the 49 shared between Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin, and it came much faster. It only took Romo and Bryant 68 games to reach that point, while it took their predecessors 128.

When I saw where Dez was lined up on that play, I had the exact same thought as he did "Touchdown". We absolutely need to move him around more to create mismatches

Yep as soon as I saw he was actually lined up in the slot for a change I immediately thought "Oh Romo is going to hit Dez for a TD here."

That's pretty crazy they've already piled up 50 TD passes together.
