Uncork the champaign. Cue the inspirational music. Stich up that torn up Tony Romo jersey, Dallas fans, because, at long last, the misery is over. You can now crawl out from underneath the desk that you hide in when this time of year comes. Becuause it's finally over.
They won. God Bless America, they won. Tony Romo didn't ruin Dallas's January this year. Instead, he led a team that looked better than ever.
The Cowboy's didn't just win, they dominated. Thumping the hated Eagles, 34-14, the numbers said it all. 27 first downs to Philly's 17. 426 total yards. And how about the time of possesion? Dallas held the ball for a whole 39 minutes and 34 seconds, nearly two-thirds of the game!
The Cowboys defense overpowered the Eagles, and their offense capitalized. They were strong both by the air and on the ground. Who wants to play a team that shuts 'em down on defense, runs the ball efficiently, and has a powerful aerial assault? Not many.
Granted, Minnesota will be a test. The Vikings are similar to the Cowboys in many ways. They share a strong front four, an effective running game, and the ability to pass. Don't be surprised if the winner ends up taking home the Lombardi Trophy.
But for Dallas, none of that matters right now. They are out of their misery. The long-lived winter depression that they seemed to enjoy putting fans through for years is over. Tony Romo can come out of the shadows. He is now a playoff quarterback.
