ASSOCIATED IRVING, Texas — a on the sideline, scowling on gingerly holding his lean right arm, all Brett Favre could do was watch Tony Romo aattae on him. The kid was . Too good for Favre and the Green Bay Packers. The Wisconsin native who spent all week denying Favre was his childhood hero sure played a lot like a yours. T hursday night — full of moxie and awe but needing a bit of a high-wire act to send the Dallas Cowboys past the Packers 37-27 and into the lead for home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Romo threw four touch down passes to send the Cow boys (11-1) to their sixth straight win. The Packers (10- 2) ended a six-game winning streak and are now essentially two one behind Dallas in the cl for the conference's top spot with only four games The bigger genes Pr Green Bay is Favre’s heal Favre injured his right elbow in the second quarter and didn’t return, perhaps jeopardizing his run of 249 consecutive starts, a record that’s about six seasons longer than the next-best by a quarterback. He has 10 days to heal before the Packers play again, Dec. 9 at home against Oakland. The could be similar to an up nerve in his right elbow that knocked him out of a game last November. Backup Aaron Rodgers, who spent the week pretend ing he was Romo in Green Bay practices, provided the kind of rally Favre usually specializes in. He threw the 1st touchdown pass of his three-year career, but wasn't able to lead a Favre-esque rad e excitement of facing oeral the best in omo as new Cowboys to scores on their first five drives, capping the last three with touchdown passes. But once Rodgers came in, Romo lost his mojo, and so did Dallas.
