ARLINGTON, Texas (CBSNewYork/AP) — Before Tony Romo could survey the field for a potential winning touchdown pass in the final seconds of the opener against the New York Giants, he had to reach to the turf and grab the loose ball from a low snap.
When the Dallas quarterback looked up, he saw someone familiar waiting for a throw at the goal line: trusty tight end Jason Witten.
Romo threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Witten with 7 seconds left, and the Cowboys overcame three turnovers that led to easy New York points to beat the Giants 27-26 on Sunday night.
