Romo’s interception led to another touchdown for the 49ers who took a 28-3 lead into half time.
San Fransisco recorded their first touchdown after a fumble by Cowboys running back Demarco Murray on their first possession. The ball was scooped up by Chris Culliver and taken all the way to the house.
Romo threw his first interception with 5:54 left in the first quarter to Eric Reid who was two yards away from returning it to the end zone. The 49ers scored on the next play after Colin Kaepernick found Vernon Davis for the second time.
Romo’s next interception came at the beginning of the second quarter when he lobbed a ball up to covered Jason Witten in the end zone and 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis took it out of the air.
On Dallas’ next possession Romo threw his third interception, and subsequently embarrassed Jerry Jones who will be forever shamed by fans everywhere for next drafting Johnny Manziel.
