The last time the Dallas Cowboys faced off against the Miami Dolphins fans were hoping the return of Tony Romo was going to rescue a season gone awry. Little could we know the game would be Romo’s last real hurrah in the NFL.
The date was November 22nd, 2015. The preseason prognosticators had pegged the Cowboys as Super Bowl contenders, yet the Cowboys entered this week 11 contest with an unsightly 2-7 record. The team was looking to end a seven-game losing streak. That was largely attributed to the absence of Romo, who had broken his collarbone in week two during a 20-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
