Dallas 25,
Buffalo 24
This Monday Night Football game goes down as one of the worst wins in Dallas' history - but I will take it (and being a true cowboy fan, gloat anyway). Tony Romo threw 5 (FIVE!) interceptions, two returned for touchdowns. Our kickoff was returned 103+ yards for an instant score and it just didn't appear that Dallas could beat one of the worst teams in the league.
Then the unthinkable happened - Tony didn't loose it, his head still in the game even if he made some awful choices with the same, instead he drove the team down the field TWICE for a field goal and a touchdown. Two point conversion failed it would appear our first loss was coming up. After all, it should have they way we played all night. Then came Folk - a rookie kicker who not only nailed his longest of his first year career (47 yards earlier in the night) - he pulled off a perfect onside kick. Then Romo quick snapped, a catch that wasn't made and Romo still pulled off a quick release to stop the clock with :02 seconds left.
Nick Folk nailed a 52 yarder only to have it pulled back 'cuz the bills coach (lower case on purpose here folks) called time out. Icing the kicker statistically doesn't work but coaches do it anyway. A simple retry from 53 yards out - nailed it. Perfection in two seconds. Proves this - you can screw up all the way through but pull it off in the last :02 seconds and you are still a winner. Bad choices, horrid execution and all - just believe in yourself, don't give up and have a good kicker.
Oh and Pat Aquino if you are out there - sorry bub. We continue to dominate, and how did T. Thomas get in the Hall of Fame in the first place? Must have been the same deal with which we got Michael Irvin inducted.
