IRVING, Texas — Of all the great players and great teams the Dallas Cowboys have had, Tony Romo, Terrell Owens and the 2007 club are the first to start 10-1.
And if 10-1 Green Bay wasn’t up next, the Cowboys might be able to savor such an accomplishment.
“We’re grateful for it, and we made history, but it doesn’t end there,” Owens said. “We know there’s more football left this season.”
Dallas kept the stakes up for the next big matchup next Thursday night with a 34-3 victory over the New York Jets on Thursday.
Romo led the Cowboys to a touchdown on the opening drive, then threw for another TD soon after. Once Terence Newman returned an interception 50 yards for another score midway through the second quarter, the only question left was whether Romo would throw another TD to tie the club single-season record.
With 6:12 left in the game, Romo did, hitting Owens on a 22-yarder, adding another milestone to the Thanksgiving win in which Dallas locked up its best record through 11 games in its 48-year, five-championship history.
“It’s hard to believe that we’ve never done this before,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.
