PHILADELPHIA (AP) _ Tony Romo threw his first touchdown pass in nearly 14
months and the playoff-bound Dallas Cowboys played it safe in a 27-13 loss to
the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
The Cowboys (13-3) locked up the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout
the NFC playoffs when the Eagles (7-9) beat the Giants on Dec. 22. So Dak
Prescott played only two series and Ezekiel Elliott watched from the sideline.
Carson Wentz tossed two TD passes to Zach Ertz to help Philadelphia finish with
a two-game winning streak.
Prescott was 4 for 8 for 37 yards before giving way to Romo, who hadn’t played
in a regular-season game since Thanksgiving 2015 when he broke his left
collarbone for the second time in less than three months. Romo broke a bone in
his back in the third preseason game against Seattle this season, paving the way
for Prescott to have one of the best years by a rookie quarterback in NFL
history.
