The return of Tony Romo against the Dolphins also marked the return to victory for the Dallas Cowboys for the first time in seven weeks. The Cowboys earned a much-needed win thanks to these plays:
If we knew Romo could complete passes with his left hand we might have seen him on the field earlier! None the less, he’s back, and this was his first completion of the day.

McFadden came up short of the first down, producing a three and out on the first series. When the Cowboys got the ball back, they began to pick up some steam before this Romo interception to Brent Grimes.

The Cowboys first offensive touchdown was provided by Terrance Williams, who was pretty happy to see number nine back on the field.
