Since Week 2 of 2014, the Cowboys are 16-3 when he starts and 0-8 when he doesn’t.

“Yeah I didn’t envision my two-month layoff coming back with a left-hander”, said Romo cracking another grin.
Watch Dallas Cowboys vs Miami Dolphins (live stream and scores here) showdown: Cowboys vs. Dolphins matchup in Week 11 run of the 2015 National Football League regular season takes place on Sunday afternoon at 1PM ET and gets underway at the Sun Life Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida.
Dallas’ defense, which was burdened with short offensive possessions and caved in fourth quarters with Romo out, only faced 41 plays Sunday and didn’t surrender a fourth-quarter point.
But at least for the day, the bleeding has stopped and the Cowboys have their leader back; only time will tell if it means anything. Given the fact that Dallas’s only two wins came against division opponents helps when it comes to tiebreakers as well.
It was hardly flawless, and Romo absorbed a few hits that at least showed that his fractured collarbone is well enough.
CLAMPDOWN: Dallas’ defense dominated, beginning when linebacker Rolando McClain scored the game’s first points and his first career touchdown on a 12-yard interception return.
Romo’s return has Cowboys fans feeling like Lloyd Christmas, “So you’re telling me there’s a chance”.
FADING FAST: Tannehill said if the Dolphins want interim coach Dan Campbell back next year, they need to play better. He completed 13 of 24 passes for 188 yards and one interception.
“It definitely helps to have Tony there, orchestrating everything for me, making sure I knew what I was doing every single play”, Turbin said. Finally, the team has a quarterback that is capable of making plays when the offense needs a big play.
Romo once again completely changed the play, and the Dolphins responded by adjusting their alignment slightly. However, most see them as irrelevant now, especially considering that they’ve lost eight of their last nine games. Tony Romo threw the ball for 227 yards and two touchdowns. As a effect, the team has blown a second half lead in six of those seven games.
The early cushion took a few of the pressure off Romo, who then led a 93-yard drive that was jump-started by a Miami penalty that wiped out the sack that would have sealed a three-and-out. And on several occasions, he bought time and created.
The Cowboys notched their first win in seven weeks on the strength of Romo’s arm.

Instead, Romo’s pass floated over his running back’s head and into the hands of the waiting linebacker. Whether they can actually achieve the (almost-)impossible to win the NFC East still remains a high improbability rather than a likely outcome, but Romo gives the franchise reason to hope.
