sideline, scowling and gingerly
holding his bandaged right arm,
all Brett Favre could do was
watch Tony Romo impersonate him.
The kid was good. Too good for
Favre and the Green Bay Packers.
The Wisconsin native who
spent all week denying Favre was
his childhood hero sure played a
lot like a young No. 4 Thursday
night -- full of moxie and joy,
but needing a bit of a high-wire
act to send the Dallas Cowboys
past the Packers 37-27 and into
the lead for home-field
advantage throughout the NFC
playoffs...more

For Tony Romo and the Dallas
Cowboys, their ascendancy into
the NFC's elite was almost
expected. For Brett Favre and
the Green Bay Packers, their
stunning resurgence to get there
was not. The two quarterbacks
lead their respective 10-1 teams
into a highly anticipated
showdown Thursday at Texas
Stadium, with the winner gaining
the inside track to home-field
advantage throughout the
conference playoffs. It marks
the first time two teams with
records of 10-1 or better will
face off since the 10-1 New York
Giants and San Francisco 49ers
played on Dec.
