Cowboys ride into the sunset - again

With or without Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys have been a bust in win-or-go-home regular season finales against NFC East opponents.

For the third consecutive season, this time at home with Kyle Orton filling in for the injured Romo, the Cowboys lost their last game with a chance to get into the playoffs.

"It's unthinkable, really, to me to be sitting here three years in a row and this game ends up putting us at .500 and eliminates us from going to the playoffs," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.
