Cowboys 27, 49ers 24

The Cowboys get win number one of the season over San Fransisco on Sunday evening. They won in a similar way the Jets beat them last Sunday.

On the third offense play for Dallas, Tony Romo got hit hard and fractured one of his ribs. He went to the locker room, but re-entered the game after Jon Kitna threw two interceptions. Romo threw for two touchdowns (both to Miles Austin) and 345 yards with no interceptions.

On the final drive of regulation, Romo took the Cowboys down to the 49ers' 31 yard line in just under 4 minutes, and Dan Bailey kicked a 48 yard field goal as time expired to tie the game at 24.

In overtime, San Fransisco recieved but quickly had to punt. On the first play for the Cowboys, Romo threw a 77 yard pass to Jesse Holley who was tackled at the one yard line. Bailey made the 19 yard field goal to get the win for Dallas. Bailey had missed a 21 yard field in the first quater of the game.

  • ooh that would hurt so much having a fractured and puncturing your lung wow that sucks though for him. i wonder if he will play in the cowboys next game?
  • i love how this is not a controversial or forum-worthy topic AT ALL, but since Mr. Bruns is a Cowboys fan, he lets it slide
    • How isn't it?

       

  • It turns out, Romo not only had rib fractures, but one of them actually punctured one of his lungs.
  • Romo playing with two broken ribs thats impressive
  • This was a must win for the Cowboys. Unfortunately, injuries are starting to pile up-Romo, Bryant, F. Jones, Austin and a few others. Hopefully, none of these will be long term.
    • I agree, Romo being injured again would be devastating to the Cowboys super bowl hopes. Also, their defensive backfield is getting banged up. They need to stay healthy for Dallas to have any chance. I didn't know Dez Bryant wasn't playing this week, I know he had been injured last week, but I figured he be back for this game. I have him on my fantasy football team. Luckily, a few of my other players did great.
  • great game by the Cowboys and the 49ers
