The Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles are playing a heated game on Sunday and the Week 17 matchup on Sunday night football on NBC on TV will be without Tony Romo and all that's at stake is a playoff appearance and the NFC East division title and both teams will be motivated to win and the game comes from AT&T Stadium in Texas and the game should be a great matchup and starts up on NBC at 8:30 pm.
According to ESPN.com, Romo is out for the game after getting back surgery and that means he will be out for the playoffs as well and that means Kyle Orton is the starter on Sunday and likely going forward if the team wins. The Cowboys have lost this game in Week 17 for two years in a row for the division title against the Giants and then against the Washington Redskins and now that Romo is out, it is another reason why the team may end up faltering at the end.
Some reports have Jerry Jones cleaning house with a loss, but now? Now it all could be different, as Jason Garrett did not injure Tony Romo, so is it really his fault if he loses to the high scoring Eagles with Kyle Orton? The Cowboys defense has been terrible and that's a fact and the Eagles have the chance to run up the score big time, as the Cowboys are giving up tons of yards in the air and on the ground and Philly comes in with a top ranked offense and two of the most productive players in the league ion Nick Foles and LeSean McCoy.
The Cowboys will be without their main man on Sunday in Week 17, as Tony Romo will be out for the matchup against the Eagles and that means Kyle Orton will be starting and now Romo is on IR after having back surgery and that came after he injured himself in the win against Washington last Sunday. Here is a report from Reuters.com: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has underdone season-ending back surgery, the team said on Friday.
Romo had a procedure to repair an injury incurred in last Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins, Dallas head coach Jason Garrett said. Back-up quarterback Kyle Orton will start in Sunday's crucial clash with the Philadelphia Eagles. The winner will advance to the NFL playoffs, while the loser's season will be over. Orton has appeared in two games this season, completing three of five passes. (Reuters)
