11/17/2008 - Landover, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tony Romo returned after a three-game absence and hit Martellus Bennett with a 25-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown that proved to be the game-winner, as the Dallas Cowboys pulled out a critical 14-10 win over NFC East rival Washington.
Romo, playing with a heavy bandage over a broken pinkie on his throwing hand suffered October 12 against the Cardinals, did enough to win in his return to the lineup, throwing for 198 yards with two interceptions on 19-of-27 passes for Dallas (6-4), which dropped two of three without its star signal-caller.
Marion Barber rushed for a TD and was effective in running out the clock in the fourth quarter, finishing with 114 yards on 24 carries. Barber also had six catches for a team-high 39 yards.
Jason Campbell threw for a mediocre 162 yards with a touchdown and an interception on 22-of-34 efficiency for Washington (6-4), which has dropped two straight.
Clinton Portis, who was a game-time decision after suffering a sprained MCL in his left knee in a November 3 loss to Pittsburgh, carried the ball 15 times for 68 yards in the loss. Chris Cooley led the Redskins in receiving with seven grabs for 47 yards.
With the 'Boys trailing 10-7, Terence Newman, who returned after missing five games with a groin injury, intercepted Campbell at the Dallas 33-yard line more than six minutes into the third quarter.
After a series of punts, Dallas went on an eight-play, 67-yard drive early in the fourth. After a key third-down conversion toss to Miles Austin, Romo found Bennett for the go-ahead 25-yard score with 10:36 to play.
Washington then put together a decent drive but failed to penetrate the red zone. Facing 4th-and-4 at the Dallas 37, Campbell's attempt to hit Santana Moss on a quick out-route fell incomplete and the rest of the game fell on the legs of Barber.
After being bottled up for most of the game, Barber ran 10 times on the ensuing drive for 39 yards to go along with a 10-yard reception on 3rd-and-8 at the Washington 36.
The hard-running back sealed the game with a three-yard run to the right sideline on 4th-and-1 with a minute to play, as Washington could do nothing but watch the clock run out.
The 'Skins took their first possession of the game and relied heavily on Portis. The injured back ran for nine yards on 4th-and-1 from the Dallas 11, and Campbell found Mike Sellers in the end zone on the next play after a play- action fake.
Romo was picked off on two of the Cowboys' next three possessions, but came back to hit Terrell Owens on a 25-yard gain down to the Redskins' two-yard line late in the second quarter.
Barber took it into the end zone from there to tie the game with 1:01 left in the half, but Rock Cartwright's subsequent 58-yard kickoff return set up Shaun Suisham's 41-yard field goal just before the half.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
