Romo sharp in Cowboys' preseason opener
Aug 10, 2007 - 2:55 AM IRVING, Texas (Ticker) -- Tony Romo orchestrated two long drives but failed to get the Dallas Cowboys into the end zone in a 23-10 preseason victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday.Romo completed 10-of-11 passes for 93 yards on two drives, which both stalled inside the Colts' 10-yard line and resulted in field goals.
Peyton Manning played just one series, collecting 35 yards on 3-of-5 passing and leading Indianapolis to a field goal. His favorite target was Marvin Harrison, who hauled in two receptions for 34 yards.
Joseph Addai, who will be the feature back as a result of Dominic Rhodes' departure, rushed for five yards on two carries in limited action.
Marion Barber was the more successful of the Cowboys' rushing tandem, collecting 48 yards on 12 carries. Julius Jones gained 22 yards on six rushes.
Terrell Owens made just one catch for Dallas, gaining eight yards on the game's opening play.
Keith David's 41-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter gave the Cowboys a 13-3 lead.
- bones yeah, but when it's your inaugural game as the coach of the Dallas Cowboys, there's still pressure to do well, even in the preseason. meanwhile the defending champs have nothing to prove just yet.
