It appeared to be one of those ugly games with Romo throwing a pick on his second possession and then almost throwing two other interceptions that were fortunately dropped by the defense.

But the Cowboys defense turned out to be just too much for the Jets, completely smothering their offense and erasing any attempts to take advantage when Dallas’s offense began sputtering around after their first possession.

And, for that reason, it was probably one of the most boring wins this year. The Cowboys took the opening drive for a touchdown, and that was enough to win the game right there. Two touchdown passes by Romo and an interception returned for a touchdown by Newman were just the icing on the cake.

Speaking of touchdowns, Romo is already scrawling his name into the record books. The touchdown pass to Owens tied him with Danny White for the most touchdown passes in a single season by a Dallas Cowboy. Before the end of the year, he will demolish that record.

It’s also good to see Terence Newman getting interceptions in back-to-back games. Newman is one of the best cornerbacks in the league, but doesn’t get the acclaim of other cornerbacks because he doesn’t get as many interceptions. On the flip side, he probably gives up fewer touchdowns than about any other cornerback, but those numbers aren’t tracked, so he goes a little unnoticed — at least by the media. No doubt, offensive coordinators know how good he is which is why quarterbacks often stay away from him.

Next up, the “next” biggest game of the year: The Green Bay Packers.

A win against the packers will give them a two game lead for home field advantage throughout the playoffs, so as much as everyone made about the Patriots game, this might very well be the key game this season. While home field advantage might be a little overrated considering the Cowboys haven’t had any real problems winning on the road this year, it’s always nice to have a slight advantage going into the playoffs.
