Terrance Williams TD catch makes Cowboys loss look less awful (GIF)

The Dallas Cowboys were behind the San Francisco 49ers virtually from the start of the game. Literally minutes into the action the Cowboys coughed up a Demarco Murray fumble which was taken to the house for a defensive touchdown. From there, the 49ers picked and chipped away at the Cowboys to take home their first win of the season.

San Francisco took their foot off the pedal when it was clear they were going to win, which was all the sneaky Cowboys needed to score a few times, pad their stats and make the game look closer than it actually was. The final score for the Cowboys came with under two minutes to go in the game when Tony Romo hooked up with Terrance Williams to give the Cowboys their second touchdown of the game and make it a 28-17 score.

Dallas was still on the very wrong side of the scoreboard but at least Tony Romo threw some touchdowns so his apologists can have something to have wet dreams about. Romo, Jason Garrett and the rest of the Cowboys hierarchy aren’t capable of winning — not even at home — and no amount of padded touchdown throws will ever change that.
