NFL Highlights (To Make You Ill)

I’m trying to avoid using a string of profanities on here… this highlight clip may be too much to handle. It’s the NFL’s highlights, and you will need RealPlayer to watch it.
The story:
LANDOVER, Md. - The Cowboys had several chances to complete their sweep of the Washington Redskins, but Redskins kicker Nick Novak made good on his own second chance.
Novak drilled a 47-yard field goal on the last play of the game to lift Washington to an improbable 22-19 win over the Cowboys.
Novak missed a field goal attempt with 31 seconds left, giving the Cowboys good field position at their own 39. Quarterback Tony Romo set the Cowboys up for a potential game-winning field goal by Mike Vanderjagt, which was blocked and returned by Washington. The Redskins got great field position because of a facemask penalty, and Novak kicked the game-winner.
In his second start, Romo didn’t waste time breaking a halftime tie. He connected with Patrick Crayton for 48 yards, then found Terrell Owens in the end zone five plays later for a 4-yard score to put Dallas ahead, 19-12.
Owens nearly gave Dallas a two-touchdown lead later in the third quarter, but he dropped a sure touchdown after beating two Redskins defenders deep. The Cowboys ended up punting, and the Redskins tied the game at 19-19 on the next series after drawing a costly pass interference penalty on safety Roy Williams.
The Cowboys will travel to Arizona next Sunday to face the Cardinals in the final leg of their three-game road trip.
