IRVING, Texas - Tony Romos back was the top priority for the Dallas Cowboys on their long plane ride to London.Even higher than the comfort of owner Jerry Jones wife.Gene will sit up in the bulkhead, Jones joked a day before Mondays flight. Romo will lounge on the way over. You dont think itd be me, do you?Assuming Romos third back injury in 18 months makes it through the nine-hour flight no worse for the wear, the next question will be how much preparation time he can handle.Romo missed practice all last week and watched Sunday while backup Brandon Weeden failed to get Dallas into the end zone until a 28-17 loss to Arizona was out of reach.The Cowboys were scheduled to land in London on Tuesday morning, hoping to get into their routine as much as possible ahead of Sundays game against Jacksonville.So far this season, that plan has been meetings and a short walk-through Tuesday, and regular practices Wednesday through Friday.Romo has skipped Wednesday workouts since the regular season started after surgery for a herniated disk last December. The latest injury is two fractures of small bones in the back, and others with the same injury have missed one game.Absolutely, coach Jason Garrett said Monday when asked if he thought Romo could play. Feel better today and get through the flight, feel good when he gets over there and well take it day by day this week.The Cowboys looked like they missed Romo against the Cardinals, who stacked the line of scrimmage and ended DeMarco Murrays record streak of eight straight 100-yard games to start the season, holding him to 79 yards rushing on 19 carries.Weeden didnt make the leagues worst pass defence pay for it, repeatedly misfiring to Dez Bryant and others before throwing his first interception with Dallas in scoring range in the third quarter and his second to end any hopes of a comeback in the fourth.I think Romo could have probably been expected to get to those second, third and fourth receivers, Jones said. I would have liked for him to be able to get some third and fourth options in there because we had them. That would have made a big difference out there, but again, thats a lot to expect from a guy in his situation.Weeden is 31, but was making just his 21st NFL start because he spent five years playing minor league baseball. He replaced Kyle Orton as Romos backup when Orton thought about retiring, which prompted his release before he signed with Buffalo. Orton is starting for the Bills now.The Cowboys were pleased with Weeden through the preseason, and in relief when he led scoring drives on the only two possessions Romo missed after getting hurt against Washington a week ago.But in his first start, he looked a lot like the quarterback who was run out of Cleveland just two years after the Browns drafted him in the first round, with a career record of 5-15 and more interceptions than touchdowns. Garrett said he still thinks he has a backup who can win.I thought Brandon did a really good job when he came into the game the other night against Washington, Garrett said. But for the most part we didnt do what we needed to do in the passing game throughout the game yesterday. Weve got to build on some of the good things that did happen.Weeden and Bryant were on the same team at Oklahoma State, but didnt play together much. Bryant had joined the Cowboys before Weeden became the starter.Weeden sure was looking for Bryant, targeting him 10 times. And yet Bryants 56-game streak with at least one catch was in jeopardy before two meaningless grabs in the final 2 minutes, including a 3-yard touchdown.Without question I missed (Romo), but I believe in Weeden too, said Bryant, who had a season-low 15 yards receiving. Weve got to go back to the drawing board and try to fix what we need to fix.NOTES: LB Rolando McClain and DT Tyrone Crawford had MRIs on their injured knees Monday, but were expected to make the trip. ...

Thats about it. A win, DeRozan said.Kyle Lowry wasnt quite so generous.Naw, I dont think so, Lowry said.DeRozan scored 16 points, and Lou Williams had nine of his 12 points in the fourth quarter as the Raptors defeated the Thunder 100-88 on Tuesday.But it wasnt before allowing Oklahoma City to have its way for most of the first half, and shoot 76 per cent in the opening quarter, despite playing with just eight men — none of them named Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook.Some time this year, were going to find some defence, from somebody, somewhere, coach Dwane Casey said. I dont know when, but Im going to find it.Patrick Patterson had 14 points and eight rebounds, while Tyler Hansbrough had 12 points, and Greivis Vasquez finished with 10 for Toronto (3-1), which was missing Amir Johnson for the second straight game (sore ankle).Weve just got to learn from it, we cant keep digging ourselves a hole, and expect to fight back and have everything fall in our hands, DeRozan said. We cant give teams hope. If thats making sure we make a stop the first three or four plays, dont give them no confidence, weve got to do that.Serge Ibaka virtually carried Oklahoma City (1-4), playing a whopping 46 minutes, scoring 25 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Lance Thomas had 14 points, while Reggie Jackson finished with 13.Casey had predicted the game would be a nightmare against a team he called a wounded animal, especially considering the Raptors have yet to play with the defensive effort he wants.Casey clearly knew what he was talking about as the Thunder was in the game until the dying minutes. Ive said this for weeks, we have no right to walk in and look at anybody and think its going to be an easy game, Casey said prior to tipoff.The Raptors took a narrow 73-70 lead into the fourth quarter, and didnt go up by double digits until Williams three-pointer with 9:23 to go put them up 83-72.We have to get better, and we will. We know were not doing as good as we want to do, Vasquez said. Were pissed. At ourselves. Because we should do better. Well take care of that.Toronto finally was able to cobble together a 16-point lead midway through the fourth, and while the Thunder pulled to within seven with three minutes to play, thats as close as they would come.Sebastian Telfair was callled for a flagrant foul and ejected with just under two minutes to play, leaving the Thunder to finish the game with just six men.dddddddddddd(A right knee contusion had already taken Perry Jones out of the game early in the second half).Im really encouraged by the guys, said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. Last resort, Ill suit up with our guys. I would love to play with our guys. I love how they compete and thats the type of group I want to be associated with.Id love to do it as long as its not shirts and skins and Im skins. You dont want to see my flabby body, he added. But I love the guys effort. Thats what the game is all about.Injury-bitten Oklahoma City is off to its worst start since going 1-15 in 2008-09. Durant — who sat courtside in a stylish blue suit and a protective walking boot — has a broken right foot, while Westbrook has a broken right hand. The Thunder was also without starting guard Andre Roberson, who sprained his foot a night earlier in the Thunders 116-85 loss to Brooklyn.Still, it was the Raptors who staggered out to the lacklustre start. They allowed Oklahoma City to hit eight of their first nine shots of the game to take a nine-point lead. The Thunder, which shot 12 for 17 in the frame, went into the second leading 30-23.Ive told them until my eyes turn red. Theyve had that speech a lot, Casey said, on the Thunders high shooting percentage. Until it sinks in, its going to be a roller-coaster.The Raptors second unit, which Casey singled out as the one big positive on the night, pulled Toronto to within two points midway through the second, and then on Torontos last possession of the quarter, with 29 seconds on the clock, Lowry fired a pass from halfcourt to a soaring Ross who finished the alley-oop, sending the Raptors into the break trailing 52-51.A layup by Lowry just under a minute into the second half gave Toronto a one-point lead — the Raptors first lead since the opening two minutes of the game. A bucket by Hansbrough gave the Raptors a seven-point advantage with 1:23 to play, but the scrappy Thunder battled back to cut Torontos lead to 73-70 with a quarter left to play.The Raptors werent immune to the injury bug Thursday, losing Jonas Valanciunas just before halftime when he collided with someone and suffered a facial contusion.The Raptors were coming off a 107-102 loss at Miami on Sunday.The Raptors are in Boston on Wednesday to play the Celtics then back home to host the Washington Wizards on Friday and the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. cheap nfl Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys cheap nfl Jerseys wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
