Romo Empire Alive and Well

by John Fennelly

Dallas Handles Pack After Favre Injury

Waiting for the fall of Tony Romo? It won't happen anytime soon, I'll tell you that right now.

Romo fired 4 more TDs tonight in Dallas' 37-27 mugging of Green Bay at Texas Stadium. Terrell Owens was on the receiving end of 1 of those scoring passes but was the focal point of the Cowboy offense with 7 catches for 156 yards.

Romo was Brady-like in his rhythm and his accuracy. There was no stopping him. Brett Favre, on the other hand, injured his hand and left the game in the 2nd quarter. He was replaced by little-used Aaron Rodgers, who played admirably, but was no match for Romo and Dallas.

The victory gives Dallas a huge advantage in the conference. If all stays true to form, they will go on to grab home-field advantage in the NFC and probably end up in Arizona he first weekend in February to avenge their only loss of the season against New England.
