NFC East Wrap Up

NYG 21   PIT 14

The Pittsburgh Steelers, stretched thin by injuries and their own mistakes, repeatedly kept the New York Giants out of their end zone. A game the Steelers were controlling turned dramatically when they couldn’t stay out of that end zone themselves.

Eli Manning threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Boss with 3:11 remaining for the Giants’ only touchdown after they tied it several minutes before on a bizarre safety.  The defending champs are now 6-1 and atop the NFC East.

WASH 25   DET 17

Santana Moss scored twice, including a punt return for 80 yards early in the fourth quarter, scoring what proved to be Washington’s game winning touchdown in a 25-17 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

The Redskins are now at 6-2 for the first time since 2000 with the win.

TB 9   DAL 13

In a slow day of offense in Big D the Dallas Cowboys edged out Jeff Garcia and the Bucs to take a 13-9 victory.  Brad Johnson went 19-for-33 for 122 yards with 1 TD and no interceptions filling in for Tony Romo.  Terrell Owens had five catches for 33 yards. He has only 11 catches and 100 receiving yards in his past three games. The Cowboys move to 5-3 with the win.

Romo Out til At Least November

Cowboys QB Tony Romo has said that he doesn’t expect to play again until mid-November.

Romo, who wanted to play last week with a broken pinkie on his throwing hand, said Wednesday the plan now is to return after the bye week.

This means the Pro Bowler would miss at least two more games: Sunday at Tampa Bay and the following week at the New York ‘Football’ Giants. The Cowboys then take a week off before returning to live action on Nov. 16 at Washington.

Romo Out For Sunday

Tony Romo had said he wanted to play last Sunday against the Rams but the pinkie apparently wasn’t ready. It appears it won’t allow him to play for at least another week as well.

Romo appeared on TOs radio show and acknowledged the fact that he will indeed be out for this weeks contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
