Best Thanksgiving Day Games by NFL Players
Unlike in the NBA and Christmas, Thanksgiving isn’t about putting on the best games. It’s about tradition – the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions hosting, with another game usually scheduled as well, and from time to time a very memorable performance is put on by the likes of Randy Moss, Peyton Manning or O.J. Simpson.

Cowboys vs Giants – Tony Romo Can Be Trusted in Crunch Time
There were no interceptions thrown by Eli Manning and the New York Giants, surprisingly, didn’t lose the turnover battle. Tony Romo, regardless of the stigma about his late-game skills, came through with a clutch, winning drive, leading the Dallas Cowboys to a 24-21 win, giving them the lead in the NFC East once again while sweeping their bitter rivals for the first time in six years.

Dallas Cowboys – No Quarterbacks Necessary
In quite a weird turn of events, even without DeMarco Murray and DeMarcus Ware playing, the Dallas Cowboys didn’t need a great game from Tony Romo to win back-to-back games for the first time this season, knocking out Nick Foles and getting a horrendous debut from Matt Barkley as their main course of action.

Dallas Cowboys – Tony Romo Doesn’t Have to Do Anything
Without Tony Romo having a big game and once again finding themselves facing an injury crisis at running back with DeMarco Murray out once again for a substantial amount of time, the Dallas Cowboys got a huge performance from Dwayne Harris, whose yard totals on special teams beat what the offense managed to produce, en route to a comfortable win.

Dallas Cowboys – On Tony Romo and the Clutch Issue
Is Tony Romo ever going to shake the label of fourth quarter/December choker off of him? Some of the numbers during his career suggest that it’s quite the opposite, yet these late-game interceptions keep on coming, as the Dallas Cowboys find themselves with a losing record despite playing quite well on both end of the field so far this season.

Denver Broncos – Tony Romo Keeps Them Perfect
For the first time this season, someone gave the Denver Broncos a real fight. Unfortunately, despite a huge game, Tony Romo raised the old demons again by throwing a costly interception that meant a loss for the Dallas Cowboys, and ruining a nearly flawless performance from him, including out-dueling Peyton Manning.

Dallas Cowboys – DeMarco Murray the Key to the Tony Romo Enigma
The moment the Dallas Cowboys, their offensive line and DeMarco Murray end their up & down tendencies from the last couple of seasons, there will no longer be a question surrounding Tony Romo and his ability to lead his team into and during the playoffs.

Kansas City Chiefs – Ugly Wins Count Too
One of the greatest makeups of good teams is being able to pick up wins even when they’re not playing well. The Kansas City Chiefs, on a very ordinary day from Alex Smith and Jamaal Charles on the ground, still made enough plays on both ends of the field to surprise the Dallas Cowboys with a 17-16 win.

Dallas Cowboys – DeMarco Murray Needs to See More Touches
Balance, or at least the appearance of it, might be the most important thing to an NFL offense. The Dallas Cowboys did rely heavily, as always, on the arm of Tony Romo to pick up their 36-31 win over the New York Giants, but in the future DeMarco Murray, who when healthy is one of the best running backs in the league, should be a little bit more involved.

Dallas Cowboys – Tony Romo Isn’t the Only Turnover King
The Dallas Cowboys aren’t known for playing a West-Coast type offense or having the kind of defense that excels in forcing turnovers and putting points on the board. But Tony Romo is good enough for any style, while the new defensive schemes and mentality might be the change the team needed from the last couple of seasons.
