Say what you want about him Redskin fans, but Tony Romo is a winner. Dallas seems to lose big games at home, but always pull it out on the road when they aren`t supposed to. Romo has so many weapons to throw to like  Jason Witten and Felix Jones, so it`s no wonder he comes through when it counts most.

To have a stud of a running back  name Marion Barber, just makes it easier for Romo to continue to win in the NFL. I know his relationship with Jessica Simpson was rocky, but he now has nothing stopping him from going for another Cowboy title this season.    (more...)

 The New York Giants came into the game (11-2-0) and with all the rumors amongst the Cowboys (8-5-0), you would think that it should be an easy victory. But the Dallas Cowboys had something else for them.
    In the first quarter it seemed that it was gonna be a boring game, both teams drove down field but were unable to get within field goal range. So the first quarter was attempt after attempt with no score. In the second quarter came the Cowboys with a long drive to  strike first with a Touchdown and moments later an extra point kick to make it (7-0).

 The Giants got the ball and ran down field but were stopped short of a touchdown, so John Carney came onto the field and super kicks a 47 yard field goal to make it a (7-3) game at halftime. Third quarter was as about as productive as the first quarter with no one scoring. Finally in the fourth quarter, Dallas drives down field to once again score. Instead of trying for the extra point,they went for the two-point conversion but failed to do so, and the game is now (13-3). The Giants got the ball back but was unable to have a scoring drive, and once again they had to kick back off to  Dallas. This is where it seemed that the Giants luck might have changed.

   The defense got a safety off of a sack on Tony Romo. But Romo thought quickly and knocked the ball out of the end zone so that they could only get three points instead of five. Dallas drives back down field and had gotten to the Giants 34 yard line is when the game turn to the Cowboys favor. It was second down and Romo handed the ball to Rookie running back Tashard Choice. Tashard ran untouched straight into the end zone to give Dallas another touchdown, now making the score (20-8). Only having 2:21 time left the Giants tried to drive back down field and maybe score again, but it was not to be with only 7 seconds of time left Eli Manning was picked off and ended their drive and the game.
   The Giants have already Clinched their division, but they have to face The Carolina Panthers next week to see who claims Homefield Advantage.  Also Dallas winning tonight helped to keep their Wildcard spot open,and if they continue to play as well as they did tonight they might just be at the Superbowl.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still sitting on top of their division. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but in the last moments of the game Pittsburgh showed everyone why they where on top to begin with.

    It was a battle from the start at Heinz Field. Ben Roethlisberger finished the game with 204 yards and a touchdown. Whereas Tony Romo finished with 210 yards and a touchdown also . Both had one fumble each and both also ran the ball themselves to gain yards. But it was the three interceptions that hurt the Dallas Cowboys. The last interception was the one that did the Cowboys in. In the fourth quarter with only 1:40 remaining Romo threw an interception ,it was picked off by Deshea Townsend. Townsend returned it 25 yards for a touchdown that finally gave the Steelers the lead in the game. It was also the final straw on the Cowboys back and broke them. The game ended with Pittsburgh wining 20-13.
   It was a very defensive battle from the start, but the Steelers fought hard and believed in each other . They had a great victory playing against such a top - notch team,and they did it at home with all their fans.

The Dallas Cowboys have possibly their biggest game of the season with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Actually, every game remaining for Dallas is big. At 8-4 in the NFC East, Dallas can not afford to lose this game. Pittsburgh just happens to be one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now! At 9-3 in the AFC North, Pittsburgh needs this game as well. They have just a 1 game lead over surprising Baltimore.
 

The Steelers have the number 1 ranked defense in the NFL this year. They are coming off of a 33-10 blowout win over the New England Patriots at New England. I know that the Patriots didn`t have Tom Brady, but I think Pittsburgh was playing well enough to win anyway. Their defense is smash-mouth, hard-hitting and just plain nasty! It will be neat to see Tony Romo and Ben Roethlisberger square off this Sunday and see how each other`s defense respond. Either way NFL fans are in for a great game!
