A seven-game losing streak may not be easy to overcome until the end of the season but the Dallas Cowboys can now remember how it felt like to be a victor. The second was scored from the red zone, something that had been almost impossible for the Cowboys to do during the losing streak. Going on an undefeated run, or something close to it, to end the season and make the playoffs remains a dream, but it should no longer be considered fantasy.

The Dallas Cowboys are a Thanksgiving Day tradition. Without Romo in 2015 they are 0-7. “Just know where you’re at on the field”. It’s going to be hard.
Las Vegas is betting on Romo being the difference. Absolutely. He can do that. With Romo back, Dallas looked like a team that can compete.
The Dallas Cowboys aren’t just America’s team, the oddsmakers in Las Vegas seem to like them too. He said, ‘Look, we didn’t handle that sequence the way we needed to.’ People were asking after the game, ‘Well, that was a frightful squib kick.’ Well, it wasn’t a squib kick.
Now comes the tricky part: The short week for a 35-year-old quarterback who must maintain his surgically repaired back and is likely to be sore after getting knocked around a few times by Miami’s defensive line.
Romo did not play well on a quick turnaround in last year’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. That said, the Coyboys’ remaining schedule poses a bit of a challenge. They get a little more motivated, a little energy, and that’s what he does.
“We addressed that”, Garrett said. “I think the guys really feed off of that”. “A desperate situation for the Cowboys and an optimistic boost with their leader back”, Johnny Avello, executive director of race and sports at Wynn Las Vegas, told Covers.com.
But Bryant beat a linebacker and a safety for the touchdown that put the Cowboys ahead to stay, 21-14, on the first play of the fourth quarter.
The Cowboys opened as 1-point favorites over the 10-0 Panthers. Even though they have a two-game lead on the rest of the NFC, Carolina still doesn’t have the best Super Bowl odds in the conference. Cam Newton is completing 56.9 percent of his passes for 2,283 yards, 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Taking advantage of matchups and keeping the offensive line guessing as to who was rushing from where finally allowed the Dolphins to start generating pressure without Cameron Wake. The Cowboys rushed 38 times for 166 yards, including 29 for 129 by McFadden. He once again makes Bryant and tight end Jason Witten – although the latter player is dealing with injuries – both lethal options in the passing game. He completed 13 of 24 passes for 188 yards and one interception. His success in the passing game against the Dolphins came nearly entirely out of shotgun. Rolando McClain had a pick-six and the Cowboys recorded three sacks.
Darr, the undrafted rookie from Tennessee who is third in the National Football League in punting at 48.3 yards per punt, latched onto Dallas punt returner Lucky Whitehead out of bounds after Whitehead’s 18-yard punt return and slammed him to the ground. Chris Jones averaged 48.7 yards on three punts.
ATLANTA – Indianapolis kicker Adam Vinatieri celebrated the 300th game of his career by kicking a 43-yard game-winning field goal in the comeback over fading Atlanta. In fact, the Romo grimace disappeared when they hooked up for their 50 TD and broke a Cowboys record.

The Panthers offense, even without Williams, still runs the ball first and foremost.
