PHILADELPHIA — No Romo. No Dez. No problem.

Tony Romo joined Dez Bryant on the injured list with a broken left collarbone, but the Dallas Cowboys shut down DeMarco Murray and beat the Philadelphia Eagles 20-10 on Sunday.

“I’ll be back,” Romo said. “It’s going to take a little bit of time. It’s a broken bone. It is what it is.

“Our team played great. I’m proud we got this win. It’s not an easy place to come in and win. We’ll hopefully get a few more and we’ll get ready to go.”

Kyle Wilber returned a blocked punt 26 yards for a touchdown, Brandon Weeden threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Williams, and the Cowboys (2-0) overcame a franchise-record 18 penalties in their 10th consecutive road win.

It’s a costly victory for Dallas, however.
