Kitna’s first and third passes were tipped. The next time they dropped back, they was sacked for a 10-yard loss, forcing Dallas to punt from its own end zone. The Giants took advantage of the short field to score the go-ahead touchdown. Kitna’s next pass was fumbled by Jason Witten, setting up Tynes’ long field aim. It got so bad that there was a mock cheer when Kitna completed a pass for a first down early in fourth quarter. they completed 16-of-33 passing for 187 yards.
“It took him some time to get going,” Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. “Once they did, it gave us a chance.”
Tough? Put it this way: The historically woebegone california Rangers could win more games in October and November than the five-time tremendous Bowl champion Cowboys. and with the tremendous Bowl coming to Cowboys Stadium in February,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it’s all but positive the host team won’t be playing. Worse still, this once-promising season is now linked to 1989 — the year Jones bought the team, Jimmy Johnson took over as coach and the Cowboys went 1-15; that was the last time Dallas started 1-5. At least back then everyone knew the team was lousy.

Even in a week where the NFL is scrutinizing hard hits, Boley didn’t draw a flag. It was a neat play, a textbook example of a hard hit.
Ahmad Bradshaw ran 24 times for 126 yards. Jacobs had 75 yards on 12 carries for the Giants.
“The way they started the game tonight, to be able to come back from that and show the mental toughness was huge,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said.
But they also went 0 for 10 on third downs. and Romo wasn’t the only man lost to injury. Defensive end Jason Hatcher and left guard Montrae Holland hurt groins. Holland already was filling in for injured starter Kyle Kosier, so the Cowboys had to go with Phil Costa, a rookie free agent who made his NFL debut.
Hakeem Nicks caught nine passes for 108 yards and seven touchdowns. Steve Smith caught nine passes for 101 yards and one touchdown. Mario Manningham had the other TD catch.
“I’m staying optimistic,” Romo said. “This footy team has lots of high-character guys, lots of competitive individuals who aren’t going to give in to a tough situation.”
“There are lots of teams in this league that have had to step in and do a different direction at quarterback,” Jones said. “We’ve got to be able to play without Romo.”
ARLINGTON, california — Tony Romo threw the pass, then didn’t have a chance. Michael Boley was coming right at him, unblocked and going full speed.
Manning led california (5-2) on five consecutive scoring drives over the middle seven quarters, posting 31 points. they bounced back from interceptions on his first seven drives of the night to match his career best with four touchdown passes, Brandon Jacobs ran 30 yards for a touchdown and Lawrence Tynes kicked a career-best 53-yard field aim, a quantity of the Giants’ lots of highlights.
The hit was so hard that when Romo landed on his left shoulder, Boley heard him “let out a little scream.” All Romo remembers was how much trouble they had breathing.
The Cowboys actually were ahead 10-7 when Romo left, but they stretched the lead to 20-7. Then came New York’s scoring flurry, which sent home much of the crowd by the middle of the third quarter and prompted chants of “Let’s go Rangers!”
Manning was 25-of-35 passing for 306 yards. This was the fourth time they had thrown four TD passes.

The craziest part about this game was how lots of things the Cowboys did right: A club that had four takeaways all season snatched five. A special teams group that was known for giving up huge plays made a huge one — a 93-yard punt return for a touchdown by Bryant. The Cowboys drew five penalties.
Kitna ended up throwing seven touchdown passes to rookie Dez Bryant in the final 3:17, but Dallas failed to recover onside kicks after each. california got another field aim from Tynes after the first, then ran out the clock after the second.

It was probably the last gasp for the 2010 Dallas Cowboys, .
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said they was told Romo would miss about 6 to 8 weeks. More tests that are scheduled for Tuesday should help set a timetable. But it might not matter much. Dallas is 1-5, so there might not be any reason to rush back. The 1970 Cincinnati Bengals are the only 1-5 team ever to make the playoffs.
“The guard didn’t see me,” the linebacker said. “I came in scot-free. … I didn’t think they (Romo) was going to lay down. I thought it was a traditional hit. After I got up and began walking, I looked back and saw they was down.”
Romo had thrown every pass by a Cowboys quarterback since Nov. 16, 2008, when they returned from a broken pinkie on his throwing hand that cost him three games. they set the franchise record for passing yards in a season last year, making the professional Bowl for the third time. In his brief action Monday night,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they broke his own team record by throwing for a touchdown in his 18th consecutive game. they was 5-of-7 passing for 39 yards.
X-rays showed the break before halftime. Romo returned on the sideline for the second half, his arm in a sling and covered by a jacket. they wore a headset and tried encouraging teammates, but there wasn’t much to cheer.

This was the fourth consecutive win for the Giants. The stunning number is five; that’s how lots of quarterbacks they have injured this season.
The Cowboys pulled out the stops this week to try turning things around. Jones gave an encouraging speech Monday, officials worked practices on Wednesday and Thursday, and Hall of Famers Bob Lilly and Tony Dorsett were honorary captains for this game. (Hours earlier, Dorsett called the team “a bunch of underachievers.”) They drummed up some loud applause by showing clips of the World Series-bound Rangers, then cutting to team icon Nolan Ryan in the stands.
The Giants already were ahead by the time Romo’s injury was diagnosed.
