Instead, Jones admits that the season has become a nightmare. The following game, they lost their starting quarterback Tony Romo for eight weeks due to a fractured left collarbone. You hope you can win games until you get that back, but it’s just disappointing I wasn’t able to do that and played poor today. I don’t know what’s going to happen. It would be Cam Newton getting the job done, keeping it for a 4-yard touchdown and a new twist on his touchdown dance.

Panther coach Ron Rivera said they practiced plays like those and this time it worked out. Coach Jason Garrett said Romo would play if he was cleared even with the Cowboys unlikely to have a realistic shot to defend their division title. Yes, Dallas needed to come back after the pick six, but when the defense is limiting the Panthers to just field goals, Dallas should have been running the ball as much as they could to take pressure off Romo. There’s no more room for error, we have to find a way to win games and get on a run if we want to save the season.
