Cowboys vs. Jaguars: Score and Twitter Reaction from London

The 'Boys are back. The Dallas Cowboys will ride into their Week 11 bye with a 7-3 record after a 31-17 dismantling of the Jacksonville Jaguars at London's Wembley Stadium.   

Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and DeMarco Murray combined to lead the Cowboys to the much-needed win, which was a crucial one after losing two straight games.

Dallas' official Twitter account sent out the final result:

Jacksonville fell to 1-9 on the season as Bryant exploded with his regular quarterback in the game. The dynamic receiver went off in the second quarter and finished with a total of six catches for 158 yards and two touchdowns.

The Cowboys noted that Bryant broke a record with his production in the second quarter alone:

Jordan Ross of Cowboys HQ also points out where the huge day puts Bryant in franchise history:

When Bryant goes off, his quarterback does the same. Romo finished the game going 20-of-27 for 246 yards and three touchdowns, while Murray rushed for his ninth 100-yard game of the season through 10 games.

Coming into the game, there were questions about whether Romo would even make the start due to a back injury. He was ruled probable earlier in the week and ultimately pulled through for the Cowboys.

Dallas owner Jerry Jones commented on the signal-caller and his impact on the team, via David Moore of The Dallas Morning News:

"

I’m anticipating him playing. I have no reason to think that he won’t.

Anytime he can play, we want him to play. We’re a better team, to be trite, with him playing. There’s no such thing as holding him out and foregoing the potential chance that we win.

"

Due to Romo's injury, the Jags reportedly had even more confidence going into the matchup Sunday. Ed Werder of ESPN shared his thoughts on Jacksonville's assurance heading into the game:

Romo's return to the field was evident, as the entire team looked improved against the Jaguars. The Cowboys nearly doubled their point total from last week (17) under backup quarterback Brandon Weeden.

Dallas started off with another ho-hum 54-yard field goal from Dan Bailey to take a 3-0 lead. But the defense wasn't able to respond with a stop, and Denard Robinson erupted for a 32-yard touchdown run.

ESPN Stats & Info pointed out the explosiveness of Robinson's play this season:

Robinson finished the game with 60 yards and two touchdowns thanks to a late score when the game was already out of reach. The former Michigan quarterback remains a lone bright spot for Jacksonville but simply can't do it all for the 1-9 team.

Prior to the end of the first quarter, the Cowboys offense would respond.

Romo drove his team down the field with relative ease and wasn't asked to do much in the passing game. At the end of a long drive, he connected with a familiar target in tight end Jason Witten to retake the lead.

Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram passed along more on the drive:

That was when Bryant took over the game and changed the entire outlook before halftime.

Both of his two touchdowns came on long plays, as he shed multiple defenders to go for 35-yard and 68-yard scores. What was a three-point game heading into the second quarter quickly became a 24-7 deficit for the Jags at the half.

Running back Joseph Randle showed off his ability with a 40-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to give the Cowboys a larger lead. But at that point, the game was already in hand, as the Dallas defense shut down Blake Bortles and the Jaguars offense.

It wasn't all perfect for Dallas, however, as late injuries became a story that took away from the dominance. Kimberly Jones of NFL.com pointed out the ailments for Murray and Bryant along with Allen Hurns for the Jags:

Both Bryant and Murray would return to the game and now have a bye week to fully recover.

The Jaguars continue to be plagued by inconsistencies and turnovers. They lost two fumbles, and Bortles threw yet another interception. The rookie QB now has a total of eight touchdowns to 14 interceptions this season under center.

Similar to every other game played in London, both teams now travel back home looking forward to a bye week. Jacksonville has a tough road ahead, looking to finally earn its second victory of the year against the Indianapolis Colts following the bye.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys will travel to take on the New York Giants prior to hosting the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving. In order to contend for an NFC East title, Dallas will need a strong stretch against its divisional foes.
