TO Plus Romo Deliver 'Skins 28-23 Loss

Posted Nov 19, 07 5:51 AM CST in Sports 

(Newser) – The Redskins were pushing for a comeback when Jason Campbell made his first big slip up of the game, getting picked off and letting the Cowboys stall the game at 28-23. Terrell Owens accounted for all of Dallas' touchdowns on four Tony Romo passes as the Cowboys improve to 9-1, reports the Washington Post. In other NFC action:

  • "It's not always pretty," said Eli Manning, aptly describing his Giants' 16-10 scrape of a win against Detroit.
  • Replacing Joey Harrington with Byron Leftwich did nothing for Atlanta, which fell 31-7 to Tampa Bay.
  • Green Bay improved to 9-1 with a solid 31-17 defeat of Carolina on Brett Favre's 22-for-30 passing.
