Turnover-prone Cowboys fall to Falcons

By Jon Robinson

When the Falcons traded for Tony Gonzalez, a lot was said about the tight end being past his prime and how Atlanta made the wrong move. But after another strong game from the future Hall of Famer, the Falcons look like they in fact got the steal of the offseason.

Matt Ryan found his big tight end seven times for 110 yards, including the go-ahead touchdown as the Falcons beat the Cowboys 27-14.

Tony Romo, meanwhile, threw three interceptions for the Cowboys, fumbling twice more as Dallas stayed within striking distance for three quarters, but in the end couldn't overcome the five turnovers to beat a very good Falcons team.
