Romo's first TD toss - a 2-yarder to Jason Witten after the Jaguars fumbled a punt deep in their own territory - provided Dallas a 10-7 edge late in the first quarter. Bryant then took a short pass in the right flat and weaved his way down the field for a 35-yard score before Romo hit him in stride down the right sideline for a 68-yard TD with 19 seconds left in the half.

Dallas drove 87 yards on its first possession after the half, with Joseph Randle running off tackle for a 40-yard TD before the defense closed out the victory. The Cowboys stopped Jacksonville on two fourth-down attempts and Bruce Carter intercepted Bortles in the red zone to snuff out another scoring opportunity before Robinson scored from the 1-yard line just inside the two-minute warning.
