Tony Romo Injury Means Cowboys Defense Must Carry The Load

First it was Dez Bryant. Now it's Tony Romo. The Dallas Cowboys offensive stars will be occupying the trainer's room for the foreseeable future, a good estimate would be 8-10 weeks. Still, the Cowboys are 2-0, with two in-division wins, after they held on for a 20-10 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The reason? The Cowboys defense has been superb over the start of the season. The really good news about the Cowboys defense is that they should get better when Greg Hardy, Randy Gregory and Rolando McClain are all available.
Granted, it's only two games, but the Dallas Cowboys defense should give Cowboys fans hope as Brandon Weeden takes over the offense, and Tony Romo plays assistant coach for a while. Against the Eagles, the Cowboys had two interceptions and a fumble recovery to win the turnover battle. They held DeMarco Murray and the Eagles to seven rushing yards on 17 attempts. That's not a typo, that's seven yards. They held Darren Spoles to negative four yards rushing, and 23 yards receiving. That's the guy who I was most afraid of before the game.
Sean Lee, now healthy, looks just as good as he did in the past when he was healthy. 14 tackles, one huge interception. Sean Lee at the weakside linebacker looks like it could be a very successful move. The defense only got one sack, but they had seven tackles for loss.
And in a surprise, the Cowboys secondary is playing very solid ball...
