Sportsday:
In his five previous starts against Philadelphia, Tony Romo has been anything but consistent. In his two wins, he had passer ratings of 141.7 and 123.2. In his three losses: 45.5, 22.2 and 55.8.
It meant, he either he was improvising and making all kinds of plays happen or he was improvising and having all kinds of stuff fail.
On Sunday, his rating of 88.7 would statistically fall in the good-but-not-great category. But when it comes to practical application, it was just perfect. Romo let the defense do a lot of the work for him and when the opportunity arose, he found Miles Austin for the game-winning touchdown.
It was, quite simply, a well-managed game. He wasn't nearly the chance-taker he often becomes. I can think of plenty of cases when he's won games with his improvisation. I can think of plenty he's lost that way, too. But here's the question for you: Can you think of any he's won in this fashion, with solid game management and good decision-making?

When the Cowboys run
Averaging 147.6 yards a game on the ground, the Cowboys are ranked sixth in the NFL but haven't had a running back have a 100-yard game since Week 2. Philadelphia hasn't allowed a rusher to have more than 87 yards in a game this year, but they have shown a tendency to wear down. Plus Marion Barber and Felix Jones are healthier. EDGE: Cowboys
