With Tony Romo scrambling, Terrell Owens kept chugging down the
sideline. Once the pass went up, Owens went to work.
He caught the ball and turned upfield, getting pushed out of bounds after a
52-yard gain. Then he kept going, drawing more attention. With all eyes and TV
cameras on him, Owens stretched his arms out to form a T, then curled them over
his head to form an O.
Yes, T.O. is back.
And the Dallas Cowboys might be hitting their stride, too.
Bottled up all season, and his frustration starting to show, Owens broke out
with seven catches for 213 yards and the Dallas defense played great when it had
to, helping the Cowboys beat the San Francisco 49ers 35-22 Sunday.
“They unleashed me today,” Owens said, smiling.
Dallas (7-4) has won consecutive games for the first time since starting 3-0.
With sputtering Seattle coming to Texas Stadium on Thursday, the Cowboys could
distance themselves even more from their recent 2-4 rut and could go steaming
into December in prime position for a wild-card playoff berth...more

Preview:
The Dallas Cowboys'
season appeared to be spiraling
out of control, but then Tony
Romo returned from his injury to
lead the team to a much-needed
victory. The Cowboys look to
build off that win and take
advantage of a potentially easy
stretch of their schedule on
Sunday when they host the San
Francisco 49ers. After opening
the season with three straight
wins, things quickly fell apart
for Dallas (6-4), as it dropped
four of its next six. Romo broke
the pinkie finger on his
throwing hand in an overtime
loss to Arizona...
Prediction: The most
impressive view last week wasn't Jessica Simpson jumping up and down for Tony
Romo, but the dominating job the Cowboys' D did in Washington. Only one team
here can get their win streak to 2. We think its the 'boys Cowboys 30 - 49ers 13
Video Preview: Now that Tony Romo is back for Dallas, the Cowboys hope to make a big push for the playoffs. Charley Casserly and Jason Horowitz see how they'll fare against their old rivals
