And just like that, as if by script, the Cowboys have tied this game.

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo just hit Dez Bryant for a 23-yard touchdown, which made the score 17-17 in the third quarter.

The touchdown was the 166th of Romo’s career, which moved him out of a tie with Troy Aikman for most in franchise history. The fact Romo’s never had an Emmitt Smith allowed him to pile up bigger numbers, but the fact he’s never had a Michael Irvin speaks to his ability to make plays as well.
