Tony Romo

In Week 14 against the eventual Super Bowl winner New York Giants, Romo had 21 completions out of 31 passes (two spikes) for 321 yards, 4 touchdowns and no interceptions. Romo had his second highest QB rating of the season with a rating of 141.30. In one of the more memorable plays of the season, with 2:25 left in the game and the Cowboys leading 34 to 29, on 3rd and 5 yards to go, Romo overthrew Miles Austin for a wide open pass on a “go” route (though the injured Austin later admitted to “losing” the ball in the stadium lights). The Cowboys punted from their 25 yard line after the incomplete pass. The Giants got the ball back at their 42 yard line with 2:12 in the game. The Giants marched down 58 yards in 8 plays for the touchdown, leaving just 51 seconds left in the game. With 46 seconds left in the game, and down by 3 points, Romo and the offense advanced 51 yards in 40 seconds and 5 plays (3 passes and 2 "spikes") from their own 20 yard line to the Giants 29 yard line stopping the clock with 6 seconds left in the game and setting up a game tying 47 yard field goal try. Giants' Jason Pierre-Paul blocked the field goal and robbed the Cowboys of the opportunity for the win in overtime that would have made it very difficult for the Giants to advance to the playoffs.
