Dolphins vs. Cowboys: Why Miami Will Stall Tony Romo's Hot November

Tony Romo has been sizzling in November and has led the 6-4 Dallas Cowboys to three straight wins. On Thanksgiving, Romo will lead his team against a 3-7 Miami Dolphins team that will also be looking for its fourth straight win and Miami could halt the quarterback's successful run.

Over the past three games Romo has completed 65 of 94 passes (69.1 percent) for 841 yards, with eight touchdowns and no interceptions. That's a phenomenal stretch for a guy who has always seemed to be one bad pass away from a complete meltdown.

On Thursday Romo will come up against a Miami team that hasn't allowed a touchdown in 12 quarters and has given up a league-low 6.7 points per game and an average of only 72.7 yards rushing this month. Miami's run defense has been stellar all season, ranking seventh in the league by allowing just 98.7 yards per game. 

With such an excellent run defense, more will be put on Romo's shoulders on Thursday afternoon and he hasn't played well in big games when that has been the case. 

Given Romo's track record, I think he's due for a bad game. With Cameron Wake, Jared Odrick and Jason Taylor having combined for 13.5 sacks this year, Romo could be under pressure, and with top receiver Miles Austin out for the game, things could be shaky on offense for Dallas. 

The Dolphins have managed to turn their season around thanks to a three-game winning streak and they know that to keep that trend going they'll need to force Romo into a bad game. I think they can do that and they will halt the Cowboys' offense in the process.
