True or False: The Cowboys will win the NFC East

"Maybe that goes over in that dream category, but you saw (Sunday) the difference Tony made to his team", Jones said Tuesday on local KRLD-FM radio in Dallas.

Romo pulled off his latest comeback victory Sunday, returning from a collarbone injury to throw for two scores, and the won for the first time since he was hurt in Week 2, beating the Miami Dolphins 24-14. We've got rain. (Miami's) got a good defensive line, maybe as good as we're going to go up against, and they come out with some great coverage stuff we hadn't seen'.

The Cowboys have been one of the NFL's worst teams this season, and they are still four games under.500.

He threw two touchdown passes and two interceptions. Romo was 5-of-9 on passes thrown 15 yards or more downfield, including the two touchdowns.

"He's a damned good player", coach Jason Garrett said. "The two turnovers are plays he wants to have back, but he made a ton of other plays".

But as Romo explained after the game, "I got more comfortable as the game went on". Since Week 2 of 2014, the Cowboys are 16-3 when he starts and 0-8 when he doesn't. They are 0-7 without Romo, who was injured on September 20 on a hit by Eagles linebacker Jordan Hicks. That penalty and a short squib kick by Dallas gave Miami a short field to work with, and the capitalized with a three-play, 54-yard touchdown drive. They committed nine penalties, misplayed a kickoff and dropped a pair of early third-down passes.

"We've got a tremendous challenge this weekend" said Jones.

Wide receiver Jarius Wright (Warren, Razorbacks) caught four passes for 50 yards for the Minnesota Vikings in their 30-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. For the Dolphins, they head to NY to take on the Jets next week in what will be basically a do-or-die game for them in the AFC Wild Card picture.

The Dallas Cowboyscame in to Sun Life Stadium hoping to jumpstart their season with a win over the Miami Dolphins and they were able to do just that. And staring up from a 3-and-7 hole in the NFC East, that's saying a lot.

"Winning", Romo said, "is going to put a little more pep in everyone's step". Suh, who seemed to get the better of right guard Zack Martin in a matchup of All Pro players, finished with seven tackles, one shy of his season-best total.

It was the fourth interception of McClain's five-year National Football League career, and it was his first touchdown. The defense sacked Ryan Tannehill three times and kept Miami's top two playmakers in check.

The Dallas Cowboys finally snapped their seven-game losing streak with an impressive showing against the Miami Dolphins last Sunday.

Romo's second interception - grabbed by rookie linebacker Neville Hewitt - also happened when he tried to avoid the pass rush.

Romo returned from a fractured clavicle from the IR in Week 11 and he is ready to start again in Week 12 against the Panthers on Thanksgiving.

The Dolphins entered the game second-to-last in rushing defense at 135.6 yards allowed per game.

-WR Terrance Williams had a big game. In his place, the Cowboys relied upon the likes of Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel to manage the tide, playing for the most part without Dez Bryant, who also missed several weeks due to a fractured foot.
