Cowboys lose to Giants; fall to 1-5 and lose QB Romo for season
The Dallas Cowboys had a lot of motivation coming into this season. The main motivation was the Super Bowl would be played in their new stadium. But so far 2010 has been anything but a disaster.
The season got more of a disaster Monday night when starting QB Tony Romo broke his left collarbone in the 41-35 loss to the New York Giants. That injury could end his season.
The recovery time according to medical journals, is 8 to 10 weeks.
The injury took place in the second quarter, as Romo was throwing to WR Miles Austin. He took a hard hit from New York linebacker Michael Boley, who was running towards him unblocked, full speed.
Number 2 quarterback Jon Kitna, the former Seahawk, Bengal, and Lion will be the starter. Kitna was the only backup quarterback in the NFL in 2009 not to take a snap in a game.
The 5-2 New York Giants won their fourth game in a row and sit atop the NFC East Division.
