Sturm: The Morning After - Romo Restores The Blueprint For Winning

Finally, a Sunday afternoon where it all made sense again. The Cowboys roster seemed to look like it complimented itself from offense to defense as it took a lead and played just like you have come to expect.
The Cowboys, for lack of a better analogy, have built up a fantastic bullpen. If they were a baseball team, they might be the Kansas City Royals. If you don't get to them in the first six innings, you likely are not going to get to them because they have the arms in the bullpen to feed you nothing but gasoline in the final three frames.
That is the Cowboys. We saw it last year and on Sunday in Miami it was happening again. They had taken a lead early in the 4th Quarter with a long, balanced, and impressive drive that grounds and pounds the opponent all the way down the field with first down after first down logged and the clock ticks while the opposing defense tries to dig in. Tony Romo hits Dez Bryant for a Touchdown and the Cowboys now call on the bullpen as they have a save situation.
The Dolphins then commit a few really silly special teams errors, including the very odd Jarvis Landry kick return to the 4-yard line. The Dolphins must punt a few plays later and the Cowboys get wonderful field position at the Miami 21 after an equally brain-dead punter personal foul on the Lucky Whitehead return. This put the Cowboys up 10 with just under 10 minutes to play.
Goodnight, Miami.
