How’s this for a trifecta of terrible:
*Tony Romo pulls off a David Blaine escape in the pocket, only to overthrow Miles Austin and have his pass intercepted to lead to an Eagles’ touchdown.
*On the ensuing kickoff, returner Isaiah Stanback botches the ball and finally falls on it at the six.
*On the next play Romo — shades of Seattle, eh? — loses his grip on the ball en route to a handoff to Marion Barber. After chasing it down in the end zone, he tries to scramble but fumbles again and has it recovered by the Eagles.
Dallas 14-6, meet Philly 20-14.
But ESPN’s gotta be loving it. A season’s worth of highlights in just more than a quarter.– Richie Whitt
