“I think we need to change America’s team”, he said as he walked to the locker room. The Carolina Panthers were well on their way to handing the Cowboys their first loss this season in a Romo start.

The situation was tricky for Romo coming into the game: a short week for a 35-year-old quarterback with a surgically repaired back and a mending shoulder.
“There are so many subtle things that come up when you see different things and you just have to get there”, said Romo, who completed 11 of 21 passes for 106 yards before the injury.
The Cowboys viewed Romo as the savior of their season.
After the game, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said initial X-rays were negative and Romo will be further evaluated Friday.
Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly intercepted two straight consecutive Romo passes in the second quarter, returning the first 32 yards for a touchdown. Our defense battled out there and gave us chances for stretches for the outcome to be different. That set the tone for Carolina’s victory.
Newton led the Panthers on a 14-play, 80-yard touchdown drive to ice the game late in the third quarter. He had previously beaten Indianapolis at 9-0 in his fourth career start in 2006 and New Orleans at 13-0 three years later.
After Romo was hurt in Philadelphia, he went on injured reserve with a designation to return – and his first game eligible to play again was Sunday against the Dolphins. Unfortunately, Carolina ended up taking more than just the ball from Romo and the Dallas Cowboys. With Romo likely sidelined for the rest of the season, the Cowboys will undoubtedly focus on these issues in their final games, as well as in the offseason as they try to regain their playoff form. “You’re just disappointed and feel like I don’t know what is going to happen”. “They depend on me to go out there and perform at a certain level”.
“I didn’t give us a chance, and for however long I’m going to sit and live with that, and that will eat at me”.
Carolina got the first offensive touchdown for either team with 18 seconds left in the third quarter.
