Wow, Cowboys late TD on 4th down to tie it.

[GirlySports]

Romo's had an amazing season.

[GirlySports]

ha once overtime starts the Cowboys go slow again. 3 and out.

[Machiavelli]

... too many wide open receivers all game. Damn.

[OILFAN #81]

Saints close to ending it.

Yup, that's game. Tough loss for the Cowboys.

I think the Saints today are something like 14/20 on 3rd downs. The middle of the Cowboys secondary has been open all day.

[DropIt]

this could be an interesting turn of events if this is called a fumble

[OILFAN #81]

Saints win. Cowboys 8-7 now. Tough loss for them.

Wild ending. But the loss doesn't really hurt the Cowboys, they still just need to beat the Redskins next week. Do they control their own destiny if the Ravens beat the Giants today?

[KelVarnsen]

It wouldn't be Sunday without saying haha stupid Cowboys.

[Drake]

That TD didn't exist in Cam Cameron's playbook. Simply because he had no idea how to use the middle of the field. Oh well its great to see them use the middle of the field now.

Yes. If the Giants lose today they are eliminated if Seattle wins tonight and the winner of Cowboys-Redskins next week wins the NFC East.

Outside of a collapse by Sea or SF in the last 2 games, or a bunch of upsets in the NFC this aft and next week, Seattle goes to Washington or Dallas. As a Seahawks fan, I like either matchup.

LOL....

Weeden promptly one-hops a pass that almost turns into a pick-six.

Only the Chiefs could run for 352 yards, and still lose the game. They need a QB in the worst way. Call me nuts but I'm inclined to go get Alex Smith this offseason, and hold out for a better QB talent in the next draft. I don't want to use a top pick on Geno Smith.

they couldn't take Geno 1st overall

but as a Raider fan I also hope the Chiefs get Alex Smith the offseason

Baltimore somehow was just robbed of a touchdown on that overturned review. If these were still the replacement refs, there would again be outcry.

Alex Smith? Yikes. He's at the bottom of the list of possible options out there (along with Sanchez and Tebow). You don't have to use the top pick - use a 2nd - 4th rounder on a QB.

Refs with another garbage call on Manning's fumble/incomplete pass. They didn't blow it dead until well after it should have. Real refs are just as garbage as the replacements.

Houston @ Indianapolis
KC @ Denver

A Houston loss and a Denver wins gives the Broncos the #1 AFC seed. Inconceivable 11 months ago.
