Meanwhile Romo showed no ill affects of that rib injury finishing the game 22-36 throwing for 255 yards while adding 0 touchdown throws and he threw for 1 interception. The stats although not terrific are pretty good for a quarterback who has had 1 week to recover from broken ribs.

The win moved both Dallas and Washington to matching 2-1 records. Next week Washington travels to St. Louis to take on the Rams while the Cowboys host Matthew Stafford and the unbeaten Detroit Lions.
