The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Philadelphia
Eagles 24 to nothing today to close out the regular
season of the National Football League. Dallas
and Philadelphia finish the season with identical
11-5 records, but Dallas is the Eastern Division
Champions since they defeated the Eagles in
both head-to-head meetings.
I have chastised quarterback Tony Romo
many times on this page during the season,
but I will be the first to say he was super today.
Romo completed 24 of 34 passes and two
touchdowns. His game decisions were good
and the only turnover came on a tipped pass.
Romo's favorite target was tight end Jason
Whitten, who scored the first touchdown of
the game. Miles Austin was also instrumental in
the victory and was named to the Pro Bowl this
week despite starting the season as the number
four receiver on the Cowboys roster.
Todays shutout, combined with last weeks 17-0
win over Washington, was the first time in Dallas
Cowboys history the team has recorded back to
back shutouts.
Ironically, the same Philadelphia Eagles will be
the first round playoff opponent of the Cowboys
next week.. Same team...same stadium... Stay
tuned!!
