3, 6, 3, 6 is hardly the blow-out scoring pattern fans dream of as they fire-up their BBQs and get down to some serious pre-game tailgating, but when it comes-up against 6, 3, 7, 0 it’ll damn well do.
The Cowboys – in large part thanks to heavily scrutinised QB, Tony Romo – beat the Redskins to level the divisional rivals at 2-1. The parity between these two teams and the Giants is the only source of hope for the bottom-dwelling Eagles, who need to fire-up the engine soon if they want a chance of playing their way out of trouble.
Romo’s play this week was exactly what was demanded by his critics, and his late-game composure saw the Cowboys in the right position at the right time to come from behind and nil-down an essential, if unglamorous win.
Grossman – the Redskins starter these days after last year’s failed McNabb experiment – was 1/1 TD/INT and threw for a respectable, if unremarkable 250 yards in the loss, while Romo was 0/1 for a marginally superior 255 and a worse rating, but did it all when it mattered.
And crucially, he did enough to win.
