Cowboys suffer devastating loss in Seattle 21-20 to the Seahawks
Everyone will always remember Tony Romo mis-handling a snap on a game-winning FG attempt, but their were many other factors that led to this awful loss that ended the Cowboys season. The play that also sticks out in my mind is when Terry Glenn fumbled deep in Cowboys territory and the ball went out of the endzone for a safety to cut the Cowboys lead to 20-15 in the 4th quarter. Then the defense, that had played well most of the game, lost track of TE Jerramy Stevens who got loose for a 37 yard TD in the 4th quarter to give the Seahawks a 21-20 lead. That set up Tony Romo to lead the offense right down the field at the end of the game to give Martin Gramatica a chance to win the game….but he couldn’t handle the snap.
Julius Jones had a great game for the Cowboys as he carried the ball 22 times for 112 yards (5.1 ypc). Tony Romo had a decent game as he completed 17 of 29 passes for 189 yards with a TD. Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn both dropped alot of passes in this game and that really hurt the Cowboys cause in this football game.
The defense was led by linebackers Bradie James (11 tackles) and Akin Ayodele (10 tackles) who bottled up Shaun Alexander (24 car, 69 yards, 2.9 ypc) and took the running game away from the Seahawks offense. But, the Cowboys didn’t look prepared for the Seahawks to be throwing the ball alot to TE Jerramy Stevens and that hurt them badly as Stevens wound up with 5 receptions for 77 yards with 2 TD grabs.
Miles Austin also had a huge play in the 3rd quarter as he returned a kick-off 93 yards for a TD right after Hasselbeck’s first TD strike to Stevens to give the Cowboys the lead at the time 17-13.
The Cowboys deserved to win this football game, but, they made a couple of huge errors that doomed them and will have the whole off-season to think of what might have been.
