Favre hurt; Romo shines as Cowboys lock up playoff berth

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre (4) grimaces as he holds his arm on the playing field against the Dallas Cowboys in the second quarter in their NFL football game, Thursday, in Irving, Texas.

— Standing together at midfield, finally giving cameramen the face-to-face meeting they were craving, Tony Romo and Brett Favre got ready for their showdown the way you’d expect from two star NFL quarterbacks.

“Exchanging recipes and stuff,” Romo said, snickering. “Guy talk.”

Then they got down to business, and it was even more entertaining – until Favre got hurt.

Favre injured the nerve in his right elbow and separated his left shoulder on one play in the second quarter and didn’t return. Romo was outplaying the guy he grew up watching and was able to hold off his backup, too, carrying the Dallas Cowboys to a 37-27 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.

Romo led Dallas to two field goals, then three touchdowns on his first five drives. He finished with four TD passes, giving the Cowboys (11-1) their sixth straight win and guaranteeing a spot in the playoffs, plus a two-game lead on home-field advantage in the playoffs. That means they have a leg up on avoiding a trip to Lambeau Field should these teams meet again in the NFC championship.

“I don’t think more than four people rooted for me in my hometown,” said Romo, the pride of Burlington, Wis. “Maybe they’ll forgive me.”

The Packers (10-2) ended a six-game winning streak, but are still in great shape for at least the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye because their next three opponents have losing records. And the idea of starting Aaron Rodgers next week may no longer be as dreadful to fans who have wondered if he was a wasted draft pick. In the most extended action of his career, he was 18-for-26 for 201 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers.

“I thought he played great,” Favre said. “He gave us a chance to win.”

And Favre?

His run of 249 consecutive starts, a record that’s about six seasons longer than the next-best by a quarterback, might be in jeopardy because of the twin injuries sustained on one hit by backup cornerback Nate Jones. At least he has 10 days to heal before the Packers play again, Dec. 9 at home against Oakland.

“I had a similar injury last year,” said Favre, who was 5-for-14 for 56 yards with two interceptions and two more passes that could’ve been picked off. “I lost feeling in my fingers and I still have some tingling. But I think I’ll be fine.”

Rodgers, who spent the week pretending he was Romo in Green Bay practices, provided the kind of rally Favre usually specializes in. He even threw the first touchdown pass of his three-year career. But he’s no Brett Favre, so this comeback came up short.

Romo was 19-for-30 for 309 yards. He’s up to 33 TD passes, smashing the club season record. He tied another club mark by throwing a touchdown pass in his 16th straight game.

Terrell Owens caught seven passes for 156 yards and a touchdown. He tied a team record with his 14th TD catch of the season and tied another mark with a TD catch in seven straight games. Patrick Crayton caught two of the touchdowns and Anthony Fasano the other.

Dallas also extended the best start in franchise history. With four games left, the Cowboys already have their most wins in a season since going 12-4 in 1995, their last Super Bowl season, and they’re two wins from matching the franchise record.

“It’s pretty amazing to break any record with all the glory this team has had,” first-year coach Wade Phillips said.

It’s a shame most of the country missed seeing this game because it sure was worthy of a bigger audience than the NFL Network can provide.

There were historic teams and star players, dramatic plays and bizarre ones – like T.O. juggling a potential back-breaking touchdown, letting it turn into an interception that could have let Green Bay take the lead.

Even the pregame coin toss was cool as Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman were honorary captains, joining Cowboys players dressed in throwback uniforms that hark back to the days when Vince Lombardi and the Packers dominated Tom Landry’s early Dallas teams.

Green Bay got a field goal on its first drive, but wouldn’t lead again. The Cowboys were up 6-3, then turned it into 27-10 in the span of just eight offensive snaps.

Then Favre left and Dallas’ intensity went, too. The lead frittered to 27-24 and after Al Harris caught the interception caused by Owens, the Packers were driving for a go-ahead touchdown. But Green Bay’s bid ended quickly, then Romo drove right back for a touchdown that made it 34-24.

Rodgers led a drive for a field goal, then the Packers needed a stop from their defense. But with Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and cornerback Charles Woodson inactive with injuries, they couldn’t do it.

No, NO crush. Yes, I DO believe Rodgers would have (or would have HAD) the numbers. (IF given the chance!..If Farve would have retired....!) GB WR's leads the league in YAC! Rodgers proved that when he played in Dallas! (re: That when you throw short like Farve has ALL year long to "Talented" WR's, & they did that in Dallas, did they not?....Just like they've done all year-YAC!) There's where the numbers come from-YAC! (But, #264...hahaha..That a Farve "Personal" accomplishment/record!)

i think soside4life has a crush on rodgers. how could you possibly say favre is holding the pack back? he is in the top few in the league in most major categories this season. do you think rodgers numbers would be anywhere near what favre has done? if you do you must not understand the level of competition in the NFL. Rodgers will get his day and after a few seasons he may be decent or more than likely he will be just an ordinary QB.

Kind of off topic, but I hear Antonio Freeman and Robert Brooks from the Packers Super Bowl 31 championship team, will be at East Towne Mall in Madison on this Saturday signing autographs. It's at a store called Into The Woods and the phone number is 608-301-9874. Ryan Grant and James Jones will be there on Tuesday the 11th.

Comparing Brett's chance to start due to Don Majkowski's injury to Rodgers' chance isn't fair. "Majik's" injury was more serious than Brett's from last week. If Favre wasn't playing, there is little chance the Packers would be 10-2. He is not in this to break these records. No way. I have good friends who know Brett personally. While the records are great, the real icing on the cake is a win in Brett's eyes. Brett wants to win. Why else would he have offered to give up part of his salary to get Randy Moss in green and gold. Not to mention, he doesn't make the choice each week, for the last 17 years, if he starts or not. That's left up to the coaching staff. And, if they are allowing Brett to play simply so he can hold a bunch of records, then shame on them. They shouldn't be coaching in the NFL then as they do not have the best interest of the ENTIRE TEAM at heart! Bottom line is Brett had a rough start to the game last week, got hurt in the 2nd quarter and didn't return. The Packers lost. Kudos goes to the Cowboys for out-coaching and out-playing the Packers and capitalizing on Brett's injury and Rodgers' inexperience. I'm not whining at all that they lost. But, you cannot put the blame on one guy for a TEAM losing a game. Consequently, you cannot credit one guy with a TEAM winning a game either.

Favre's line this year:

296 of 439 passes completed for 67.4% (ranked 3rd)

3412 yards passing (2nd to Brady)

22 TD's (6th) vs 10 interceptions (15th)

QB Rating 97.9 (6th)

I bet there are 25 or 26 teams who would put him in front of their current starter.

It does takes the whole team to win and with the youngest team in the NFL it takes a LEADER with those type of stats to win. That's what Favre is.

As for Rogers starting, that won't happen, he pulled a hammy in practice.

I really agree w/ the last guy's comment. It does take the WHOLE TEAM & a GOOD COACH to get to a CHAMPIONSHIP (SUPER BOWL!)...! I AM a PACKER fan & because I am, I believe that Aaron Rodgers REALLY needs to start this week!! (FARVE (?..Ha!) got "HIS BIG CHANCE" in sort of the same circumstances <re: "hurt" QB>, did he not?!) Farve is holding the PACK down for his "own" personal gain (His records)! Honestly, NO, that's NOT "classy"!

For all of you that think all packer fans are whiners,not all of us are. I am a Packers fan, and yes, I would have liked to see them win against Dallas but that didn't happen. As much as I hate to say it the Packers were out played and out coached. Maybe if they would have stuck to the basics from the beginning of the game, it might have turned out differently or maybe not. They went up against a good team and it didn't work out. So what do they need to do? Learn from the experience and move on to the next game. I think Favre is a great Q.B. but it takes a whole team and coaching to win games and championships. My personal opinion, I think they have a good enough team to make it to the Super Bowl. But if they don't, then try again next year. GO Pack!!!

It is F-A-V-R-E not Farve. And, Randy Rhodes? Who is that? Oh, you must mean RAY Rhodes! Get your facts straight before you start spewing crap. Like I said before, love him or hate him, but atleast have respect for the man. He is one of the very few class acts left in a league of delinquents who are in it for me, money, me, me, and more money. Sure, Rodgers had a few fantastic plays. However, it is extremely unjust to compare him to any of the greats in the league or say it is time to turn over the reigns just because he had a few fantastic plays. He's not ready to be #1 yet, and he knows it. In a league that is driven by agents and the "me" factor, if Rodgers believed he should be starting, he'd be on a different team already. The most over-rated qb in the league? IMHO, it is Tony Romo!

Obviously, you know/ might have looked up something (re: Farve threw 8648 passes, & was intercepted 281..blah,blah,blah..)...BUT, you obviously don't get the fact that PERCENTAGES DON'T COUNT or MATTER in RECORDS!! They REALLY don't! (....You'll have to Google the "FARVE INTERCEPTION COUNTDOWN", which has been updated now....It's hilarious! (Sorry..I know..salt in the wound! But, the truth hurts sometimes, right?)..& it also gives you comparisons/numbers to alot of the other QB's you named!) I understand the fact the you are (OBVIOUSLY!) a Farve/Packer Fan & I appreciate that!...I really do! ;) But, this week, Rodgers REALLY needs to play! BREAK the FAVRE record! (LET FAVRE GO!...for once & for ALL!! He shouldn't hold the PACKERS back any longer than he has!!)
When I said "Farve needs disipline...", I mean, Farve has NOT done ANYTHING (..really) good (or for his TEAM!), besides stay & break his own "Personal" records....SINCE Holmgren left!! (Holmgren, from whom he GOT "discipline" & his "Super Bowl" ring!)....Remember "Randy Rhodes", the year after Holgren left...haha...Not good!

Did you know that the 1st recorded throw Favre threw in the NFL was "intercepted"?! (His 2nd didn't go too well either!)

I probably would chose the latter of the cars (15,000)!....

Oh, & if ANY QB was EVER "UNDRATED", it "WAS" VINNY TESTEVERDE (#16!)...

SOSIDE4LIFE, are you serious? apology? so numbers matter huh? ummm..........percentages arent numbers? it only makes sense that the higher the number of attempts the higher the number of interceptions. so percentage of interceptions to attempts is the tell tale NUMBER. you cant say that brett is worse than(for example) joe namath who only attempted 3762 passes and was intercepted 220 and favre attempted 8648 passes ans was intercepted 281. that is 5.8% for namath and 3.2% for favre. if youre going to compare the big picture you have to do it in a logical way.

if you had two cars both 10 years old, one had 150000 miles and the other had 15000 miles, would you say that the one with 150000 miles was less reliable because it broke down more?

Yeah, he's got alot of "Records"-Ex: # of times he has conseq. started, amt. of wins/TD's by a QB, etc."...BUT, he SHOULD hold those, look @ the amount of yrs. he's played!

For as poorly as the Packers defense played, the game was close. I'm so tired of hearing people rag on Favre when he has a bad game. Without Favre this season, would Green Bay be 10-2? I think not. Rodgers did wonderful last night and I'm much more optimistic about the future of the team when Favre retires, but I don't see any way the team would be better this year had Favre retired. McCarthy is doing a great job as well, but for some reason last night he completely changed the game plan. A flea-flicker? Seriously. The offensive play-calling in the first half was questionable at best.
As far as NFL network goes, Chris Collinsworth has always been one of my least favorite commentators. He's just not good. He's one of the guys that was all for Favre retiring last year and then last night talked about him like he was God. If the NFL network wants to continue to build, they need to get rid of Collinsworth.

That game wasn't a very good advertisement for the NFL network. I thought the announcing sucked. There was so much dead air I thought I accidently muted my TV.

As far as the game..it was a scrimmage. The real game will be in January. I'm glad the Packers didn't show all of their cards. Get everyone healthy, make adjustments and let 'em have it in January.
