Romo Boosts Cowboys

The Associated Press

Published: October 1, 2007

IRVING, Texas - Tony Romo had a 15-yard touchdown run and threw touchdown passes of 59, 37 and 17 yards, turning what had been a tight early game into yet another easy win, 35-7, for Dallas, and another frustrating loss for St. Louis on Sunday.

The Cowboys are 4-0 for the first time since 1995, the year of their last Super Bowl title. The Rams are 0-4 for the first time since 2002, when they opened with five straight defeats coming off a Super Bowl loss.

Romo was 21 of 33 for 339 yards and three touchdowns, with an interception. He also had a long scramble on a fumble that helped keep alive the Cowboys' first scoring drive. Patrick Crayton scored the first two touchdowns and had seven receptions for a career-high 184 yards.
