Cowboys overcome Romo's INTs, rally in final seconds
Cowboys (5-0) and back on top with the elite teams in the league
|
|
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- NFL quarterbacks who turn over the ball six times usually disappear quickly.
Tony Romo's isn't going anywhere.
The unflappable Romo overcame five interceptions and a lost fumble to lead two last-minute drives, and rookie Nick Folk kicked a 53-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Dallas Cowboys an improbable 25-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.
Two of Romo's picks were returned for touchdowns in the first half, while his bobble and his fifth interception came during the fourth quarter.
Yet Dallas (5-0) won, setting up a megamatchup with the unbeaten New England Patriots on Sunday at Texas Stadium.
"That's a sign of a pretty resilient team," Romo said. "I think our team, outside of me, played an outstanding football game. They dug me out of it. It was tough to go through that, especially on Monday night.
"No one is going to care when it's all said and done how you won the game."

Cowboys' Williams fined for another "horse-collar' tackle
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Dallas Cowboys safety Roy Williams has been fined for the
second time this season for a "horse-collar" tackle.
The NFL fined Williams $15,000 for a tackle against running back
Marshawn Lynch in Monday night's game at Buffalo. Williams drew a penalty on the play, but the flag was
for an incidental facemask and not the tackle.
After a similar tackle against Chicago tight end Desmond Clark last month,
Williams was fined $12,500.
In 2005, the NFL outlawed "horse-collar" tackles, when a defender grabs the back
inside of an opponent's shoulder pads and yanks the player down.
