Addendum, or, Fantastic finsh

As a quarterback, Tony Romo last night had as bad a night as you can have. Five interceptions. Five. At one point, the Cowboys were down 24-16. And still...

Wade Phillips, the coach, said to Romo, "Wouldn't it be amazing if we won this game?" Romo was thinking the same thing. "I'm always thinking that we're going to go out and score on the next drive," Romo said.

Well.

The sequence was incredible, but then came the finish. Kickers rarely get any credit, especially if they fail. Nick Folk, the rookie kicker for the team, wasn't nervous as he tried to win the game in the dying seconds. Wasn't nervous as the Bills called a timeout, negating his first attempt. And certainly wasn't nervous as the ball sailed through the uprights on the second attempt, clinching the win. Simple confidence. When asked if that was that was the biggest kick he's made, he said simply, "For now."

The Cowboys had no right to win a game they played so poorly in. Classic trap game. And yet. They never gave up on themselves. They knew they had a chance. They gave themselves that chance. And they succeeded.
