let a 14-point lead slip away in the fourth quarter
and lost to the New York Jets 27-24...
...but in week number two, it was the Cowboys
coming from behind to defeat San Francisco by
the same score,..27-24 in overtime.
The game will be remembered as the annointing
of Saint Tony... Dallas quarterback Tony Romo had
to shoulder a lot of criticism after a fumble and an
intercepted pass gave last weeks game to New York.
Against San Francisco, Romo was knocked out of the game with a fractured rib...BUT he returned late in the game to lead the team to a game-tying field goal, forcing an extra period. Dallas defensive co-ordinator
Rob Ryan's players kept the 49's corralled for the most part. Dallas wideout Miles Austin again proved he is one of the league's elite with a three touchdown performance...one where he laid-out just above ground level for the score. With the score tied 24-24 in overtime, the Dallas defense held San Francisco and when they got the ball they wasted little time. On the first play Romo caught the 49's concentrating on Austin too much and threw to Jesse Holley for a
77-yard play to the San Francisco 3... Dallas elected to kick the field goal on first down and departs the Bay area with a 27-24 win to even their record to 1-1 after
two weeks of the 2011 season.
Next up for the Cowboys will be a home game against the Washington Redskins next Monday night. The Redskins have won their first two games of the season.
