Mike Shanahan Kept Tony Romo From Committing A Crucial Penalty Yesterday [UPDATED]
Just before Dan Bailey kicked a 39-yard field goal in overtime to lift the Cowboys past the Redskins, Tony Romo tried to call a timeout. Problem was, the Cowboys had none left—though Romo didn't know it—which ordinarily would have resulted in a 15-yard penalty. Except that, at the same time, Redski...

DeSean Jackson Appears to Return Another Punt Against The Giants, Refs Disagree, Eagles Score Anyway
It was a close call to be sure, so it was strange that the play was not reviewed. Not to worry, though.

Rex Grossman's Perfectly Thrown Ball Sends Redskins-Cowboys to Overtime
Grossman hooked up with Donte Stallworth at the back pylon for a nifty little touchdown grab. The extra point tied the game at 24. The Cowboys got the ball back with 14 seconds left on their own 20 following a touch back on the kickoff. They took a knee, and their chances, going into overtime....
