IRVING, Texas - While millions of Americans enjoyed their Thanksgiving Day dinner, Tony Romo feasted on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defense.
Romo threw five touchdown passes, including three in the first half, as the Cowboys dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 38-10, to improve to 7-4 here at Texas Stadium. It's the ninth time in club history that a Cowboys quarterback has thrown five TDs in game.
Terry Glenn and Marion Barber caught two touchdowns each, and Terrell Owens' 7-yard grab in the third quarter gave the Cowboys a commanding 35-10 lead.
Tampa Bay (3-8) took a 7-0 lead on the game's opening drive with Mike Alstott's 1-yard touchdown run. A pair of catches by Joey Galloway for 53 and 13 yards put the Bucs in scoring position.
But after Romo led Dallas on a 62-yard scoring drive, Roy Williams played centerfield perfectly, gliding across the field to intercept Bruce Gradkowski's pass. Glenn caught a 2-yard TD pass 10 plays later to make the score 14-7.
Williams' interception gave him five this season, tying his career high as a rookie in 2002.
Galloway beat cornerback Anthony Henry down the left sideline later in the second quarter, but Henry recovered in time to break up Gradkowski's pass in the end zone. The Bucs settled for a 46-yard field goal by Matt Bryant.
