Romo was solid all night long. Cowboys ran up the scoreboard on the rushing offense alone. Giants defense wasn’t altogether there most of the night. As I told someone earlier tonight, when you stop and think back over the course of the season, every team in the NFC East have managed to stumble at the same time. Giants iced the Dallas kicker in the end and that made the difference.
As I mull it over and listen to the postgame, this was a breakdown with the defense. The doppleganger for the Cowardly Lion (Rob Ryan, so proclaimed by Mike & Mike) didn't call the right defense. With a 12-point lead established at the 5:44 mark, a stout defense would have neutralized both Manning and the Giants' rushing.
