Cowboys beat Chargers on late safety
Football Betting Lines
08/22/2010 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dallas' Tony Romo and San Diego's Philip Rivers were each picked off during their first offensive series and the Cowboys earned a sloppy 16-14 preseason win over the Chargers thanks to a late safety.
The Cowboys, who were penalized 10 times for 65 yards, broke a tie with just under four minutes left. Victor Butler stripped the ball from Chargers quarterback Jonathan Crompton. The ball rolled into the end zone, where Chargers lineman Ryan Otterson covered it for a safety.
San Diego had one last chance, but the Cowboys stuffed Marcus Mason on a run up the middle, leaving the ball at the Chargers 39. Dallas ran out the final 1:53 on the clock.
Romo completed 4-of-11 passes for 30 yards, including a nine-yard scoring connection to Miles Austin late in the second quarter. He was intercepted by Eric Weddle in the opening period.
Jon Kitna went 9-of-15 for 84 yards, including a 19-yard scoring pass to tight end Martellus Bennett in the fourth for Dallas.
Rivers ended 11-of-15 for 125 yards and scored on a one-yard run in the final minute of the first quarter. But he was intercepted by Terence Newman to thwart San Diego's game-opening drive. Rivers led his team to the Dallas 19 before Newman stepped in and picked off Rivers at the seven. Darren Sproles fumbled the ball away at the Dallas eight in the final three minutes of the first half.
Rookie Barry Church rumbled 80 yards with the fumble recovery before being tackled by Rivers. That set up Romo's TD toss to Austin.
Mason scored on a four-yard run in the third quarter.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
