Tony Romo tosses TD pass, Cowboys lose to Eagles

3753411



    

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.
