Tony Romo and the ‘Boys are coming off a bye week, but their third rated offense has been abysmal this season in terms of points per game.
The Cowboys ranks the third to worst in football (30th) averaging just 16.2 PPG, and Romo has taken all of the blame (deservedly so).
To throw for 5 TD and 8 INT at any point during the season for America’s team is a joke, and this Dallas offense needs to find a lot more running room.
DeMarco Murray has just 237 yards in four games with just 1 TD, and there is nobody else that Dallas can rely on to move the chains.

Whether it has been Dez Bryant dropping home run passes or not adjusting to the hot routes for a young pup, the Cowboys still have the talent to give the Ravens major issues in the passing game.
Baltimore’s pass defense is 22nd ag...

The Cowboys have a feature RB, very good to...
Big Game For The Cowboys Against Ravens In Week 6

Terrell Owens on the Jets, Tebow, Sanchez and Romo
It’s on the record that Players View feels that Terrell Owens can still play. There is also the feeling that he creates these weird stumbling blocks for himself that for instance kept him from making the grade in Seattle.
In looking at the film that he generated as a Seahawk he had no problem getting open which is why he was targeted so much.
He just dropped crucial catches.When...
Romo proud of Bryant's growing maturity
Following Dez Bryant's arrest in July for allegedly assaulting his mother, Tony Romo was one of the first Cowboys to speak publicly about the young wide receiver.

On Wednesday, Romo was asked during a conference call with Baltimore media members if he offers...

IRVING The Dallas Cowboys were without a punter during Thursday's practice at Valley Ranch. Chris Jones is dealing with a knee injury and Brian Moorman a groin injury. Both players have held on Dan Bailey's kicks this season, but if neither is available, Tony Romo could be the Cowboys' holder in Baltimore.
"There's a possibility that Tony's going to hold...
Cowboys doing lot of giving, not lot of taking
(Eds: Updates throughout. With AP Photos.) By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys have done a lot of giving this season.

Vulnerable Cowboys team to be tested against Ravens this week
The Dallas Cowboys will head into Baltimore to face a tough, veteran defense and a balanced offense bolstered by Ray Rice on the ground and the Joe Flacco-to-Torrey Smith connection through the air.
