Did anybody else really pickup on what happened after that..?

Suddenly Romo wasn't dumping the ball in open space for incompletions..

and he could step up and buy time to complete.

Biggest thing that let this team find its traction.

Nice job of ceasing the moment for the Cowboys.

Smith just totally pancaked the guy and he grabbed his groin.................he never returned to the game................the pass rush really fell off after that.............but like I say about our team, injuries are part of the game and are no excuses........sack up.

My favorite nickname for him is A-Rag-Pole. I forget who started that. Manster54 maybe?

The game changed when they took the ball out of Romo's hand after the 2 opening 2nd half drive TOs and gave it to Murray. Things started to work off of PA and the rest is history. Let's just pray for 25+ carries for Murray next week and not the majority of them in the 4th.

On the contrary. Orakpo wasn't a factor the entire game. Smith completely handled him. The only pressure Smith gave up was to Orakpo's replacement. It took Smith a few snaps to adjust to the new player.

Yes..
Saw the replay but at the time…I just assumed he be back and ad more damage..

..but it took me a while until after the FG was kicked for Dallas that he had not returned and by then it was game on.

Awesome for a change.

This.^

Darryl Tapp had the best play against Tyron right after Orakpo was injured.

As much as anything, I think the game changed when Scandrick was put on Garçon. Didn't catch a pass after that.
