Romo injured; Giants beat Cowboys

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Tony Romo broke his left collarbone, then things really got bad for the Dallas Cowboys.

Eli Manning tied his career best with four touchdown passes, Brandon Jacobs ran 30 yards for a touchdown and Lawrence Tynes kicked a career-best 53-yard field goal and the New York Giants (5-2) turned a sloppy start into a 41-35 victory over the Cowboys (1-5) on Monday night.

New York won its fourth straight and is alone atop the NFC.

Dallas has its worst start since 1989. That was the year Jerry Jones bought the team, Jimmy Johnson took over as coach and the Cowboys went 1-15. Everyone knew that team would stink. This club, however, had Super Bowl hopes.

Romo was drilled by blitzing linebacker Michael Boley in the second quarter.
