Cowboys...34 Jets...3
- Share via
IRVING, Texas -- Regardless of where they go from here, Tony Romo, Terrell Owens and the 2007 Dallas Cowboys already have reached an impressive peak in team lore: 10-1.
Romo threw two touchdown passes, including a late one to Owens, sending the Cowboys past the New York Jets, 34-3, Thursday and giving Dallas its best record through 11 games in its 48-year, five-championship history.
Though nice, it’s only good for a share of the NFC lead. Green Bay also is 10-1 and the Packers are headed to Texas Stadium next Thursday night.
Romo’s two touchdown passes give him 29 for the season, tying a club record.
The Cowboys needed only eight plays to go ahead, 7-0, and were up, 21-0, before the Jets (2-9) even scored, getting a field goal in the final minute of the first half. Dallas wound up not giving up a touchdown for the first time all season.
New York was coming off a victory over Pittsburgh but quickly reverted to a team that had lost its previous six games.
