ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Tony Romo is running around and having
fun again, and Miles Austin is the reason for it.
Romo returned to his swashbuckling style, keeping drives alive
by improvising and turning one near-disaster into a touchdown, and
Austin proved his breakout game was no fluke by coming up with big
play after big play, leading the Dallas Cowboys to a 37-21 victory
over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
With Romo and Austin bringing the offense to life and the
defense giving up little more than long drives at the start of each
half, the Cowboys (4-2) roared out of their bye with their most
impressive win of the season and first against a team with a
winning record.
The Falcons (4-2) came in looking to keep pace with the best
start in franchise history. Matt Ryan started great, but couldn't
keep it up. His streak of 142 passes without a sack ended with
takedowns on consecutive plays in the first quarter. He was sacked
four times, threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.
