The problem with Cassel, of course, is that he wasn’t acquired until September after Romo broke his collarbone for the first time this season.

But none of those 15 wins ever occurred in Lambeau Field, with the only Cowboys’ road win in the series occurring in a 1991 game where the Packers played their home game in Milwaukee.
On a weekly basis, fans and players alike are confounded by the catch rule.
There is a rule in the National Football League when it comes to pass catching called the Calvin Johnson rule.
Matt Cassel can’t figure out how to get Dez Bryant the ball in the red zone, and it’s making the Dallas Cowboys’ abject offense even worse. As this season has progressed, it has become clear that different officials interpret the rule in different ways and no one knows what is and isn’t a reception.
The NFL’s catch rule has been extremely controversial with several receptions overturned despite common sense saying they should stand. The opposite has also been true, maybe no play illustrating that more than Golden Tate’s “touchdown” against the Bears that was initially ruled an interception.
“That’s cool!” Bryant told USA TODAY, when told about formation of the committee. “They need to invite me”, Bryant said.
Dallas is now at the bottom of the NFC East with a 4-8 record, but all the three teams above it – Washington Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Giants – are tied with a 5-7 slate so it is still anybody’s ballgame in their division.

Meanwhile, the Packers stun the Detroit Lions, 27-23, at the Ford Field on December 3 as quarterback Aaron Rodgers pulled off a Hail Mary 61-yard touchdown pass to tight end Richard Rodgers with literally no time left on the clock, via ESPN. Anything else would give the Redskins time to answer back. And then out went Romo again. The idea was then to pick up the first down, kneel down, and then kick the field goal. They played that game with a visibly broken down offensive line that was missing Bryan Bulaga and TJ Lang while Corey Linsley and David Bahktiari picked up injuries during the game. Garrett admitted that the original plan was to run the clock down, but McFadden running out of bounds ruined that. “Tell them they need to call me, so I can have my input”, Bryant said. “What happened was we scored a touchdown on it”. He writes for a variety of national publications and has over 15 years of sports journalism experience.
