Crazy Ending Lifts Cowboys Above Bills 25-24

October 8, 2007

Can you say crazy?

I’d like to give a game wrap up, but I can’t. After a game where Romo threw five interceptions and fumbled the ball away, to win in that fashion. It’s the type of thing that takes the words out of the mouth and the letters off the keyboard.

So let’s just relive that ending.

The Cowboys have the ball losing 24-18. They dink and dunk their way down the field and set up a potentially tying two point conversion with twenty seconds left.

The fade to Terrell Owens is broken up.

An onside kick would still leave the Cowboys twenty-five yards away from field goal range, but instead of recovering at their own forty, the ball is knocked forward and recovered at the Bills forty-seven.

The pass to Terrell Owens putting the ball in field goal range and the spike with one second left on the clock.

The play challenged and ruled an incompletion.

Romo completes two quick passes to set up a fifty-three yard field goal.

Nick Folk kicks the field goal. Dallas wins!

But wait, the Bills coach called time out right before the snap and the field goal must be attempted again.

And Nick Folk puts it through the goal posts again.

Chicago came back to win against Arizona in a crazy ending last year. Dallas had a 13-0 lead on Washington with two minutes left only to lose 14-13 the year before. But I can’t recall ever watching a game with as crazy an ending with that one. It’s like the Music City Miracle being called back because of a last second timeout and the Titans returning the second kick for a touchdown.

In a word: Crazy.
