ARLINGTON, Texas - Tony Romo has his first come-from-behind victory in the playoffs, a refreshing reprise for a career filled with season-ending disappointments.The Dallas quarterbacks late touchdown pass to Terrance Williams gave the Cowboys a 24-20 wild-card victory over Detroit on Sunday and sent them to Green Bay for their first post-season visit since the Packers won the Ice Bowl for the NFL championship 47 years ago.Anyone looking for a big exhale from the 34-year-old quarterback who avoided more heartache in Dallas first playoff game in five years, well, its not happening.There is no sense of relief, said Romo, who also had a 76-yard TD toss to Williams to start the rally from an early 14-0 deficit. Our aspirations werent winning the division, as great as that was. And its not just winning a playoff game, as great as that was.The Cowboys (13-4) will play their third divisional round game under Romo against the Packers on Sunday. He lost the first two, including at home to the New York Giants during the 2007 season when Dallas was the top seed in the NFC.I think people appreciate Tony as having the skills that he has, owner Jerry Jones said. I hope they see that hes made some pretty impressive plays and had big games. The only thing that will ever get them off his back totally would be to get that Super Bowl win.The Lions (11-6) went 99 yards for one of two first-quarter touchdowns, but Matthew Stafford couldnt get them in the end zone again.Detroit was driving with a 20-17 lead midway through the fourth quarter when referee Pete Morelli announced a pass interference penalty against Anthony Hitchens on a third-down pass to Brandon Pettigrew. But officials reversed the call without explanation, and Sam Martin followed with a 10-yard punt.Not a good enough one. Im going to leave it at that, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said of the explanation he got. Im not going to sit up here and act like that was the play that made a difference in the game.Things to consider after the Lions missed out on just their second playoff win of the Super Bowl era (The first was against Dallas during the 1991 season):THE EXPLANATION: Referee Pete Morelli said the back judge threw the flag on the pass interference penalty, but the head linesman had a better view and thought the call should be changed. The linesman said there wasnt enough contact and that Hitchens was face-guarding, which isnt a penalty in the NFL.I thought it was ridiculous, to be honest, Pettigrew said. He ran through me, pretty much, trying to get back to the ball. To me, it was obvious.CLINCHING THE WIN: After the reversal, Romo took the Cowboys 59 yards in 11 plays, including a 21-yard pass to Jason Witten on fourth-and-6. The winner was an 8-yarder to Williams in the back of the end zone after Romo had several seconds to throw behind an offensive line among the leagues best because Dallas has drafted linemen in the first round three of the past four years.The Cowboys had to wait a little longer to celebrate. Rookie DeMarcus Lawrence gave the Lions the ball back with a fumble following Anthony Spencers sack that knocked the ball loose from Stafford, who was 28 of 42 for 323 yards playing against his hometown team.Lawrence redeemed himself on the clincher eight plays later, sacking Stafford on fourth down near midfield in the final minute.EMOTIONAL SUH: Detroit defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh had consecutive sacks in the fourth quarter after his week started with news that he would be suspended for stepping on Green Bays Aaron Rodgers in the regular-season finale. He was reinstated a day later.He was so emotional after the loss that he left the podium in tears, only to return a minute later to finish talking about how the season suddenly ended.Im speechless. ... I didnt expect this outcome, Suh said.RESILIENT ROMO: The 34-year-old who had back surgery in December 2013 and missed one game with another back injury bounced back from a season-high six sacks to finish with 293 yards and a passer rating right in line with a franchise-best 113.2 that led the NFL in the regular season.Im thrilled for him, said Jones, who gave Romo the first $100 million contract in franchise history almost two years ago.TOUGH SLEDDING: NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray slogged his way to 75 yards on 19 carries against the NFLs best run defence, including a 1-yard plunge on fourth down that pulled Dallas to 20-14 late in the third quarter. His score was set up by the only big play from Dez Bryant. The NFL leader in receiving touchdowns (16) had a 43-yard catch to inside the 10, but had just 5 yards on two other grabs.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Cheap Red Schoendienst Jersey .

Behind him, two lockers of his very own. The first-time Cincinnati Reds manager felt a little out of place in his own office. Time to start getting used to it. The Reds open spring training on Friday when pitchers and catchers report and have their first workout. Price will be front-and-centre, a new role for the former pitching coach who took over when Dusty Baker was fired after another playoff disappointment. "I told the guys in our (staff) meeting, You better make sure you come in here and keep me company," Price said on Thursday afternoon. "Im not used to being in a room by myself, unless Im in the doghouse. Been there a few times." And he will be again once the games begin and one of his moves backfires. Ask Baker about that one. Baker got fired after leading the Reds to the playoffs for the third time in four years. They lost to Pittsburgh in the wild card game, the third time they were knocked out in the opening round. The post-season fizzle cost Baker his job and gave Price the chance to manage a team with plenty of talent to contend. He knows the team will be judged not on whether it reaches the playoffs, but whether it wins when it gets there. Just like the Bengals, who have lost their opening playoff game each of the last three seasons, the Reds arent going to get a final grade until well after the regular season has ended. Price isnt going to dwell on it with his players. "For me, the references — if any — will be very short in discussing the past," he said. "Theres nothing we can do about it. Ive inherited a phenomenal group of guys that really want to play this game beyond where weve been." The Reds are in good shape as they get started. The pitching staff is mostly healthy. Reliever Jonathan Broxton had surgery to repair a tear in his forearm lastt August and has been making good progress in his throwing program during the off-season.dddddddddddd. Hes the only one who may not be fully ready for opening day. "Hes stayed constant in his throwing progress, which is terrific," Price said. "And we definitely anticipate him being on the mound this month. If thats enough time to get him ready for the season, well see. Well probably have a lot better answer when we get into those last 10 days of March." Right-hander Johnny Cueto has fully recovered from strained muscles in his right side that bothered him most of last season. Cueto wound up on the disabled list three times, limiting him to 11 starts. "That being said, youre talking about a guy who ended the season healthy and there shouldnt be any impediments to his spring training based on last year," Price said. "We can hit the ground running without any inhibitions." Left-hander Tony Cingrani has recovered from back spasms that limited him during his rookie season. Cingrani moves into the spot that opened when Bronson Arroyo left as a free agent, signing with Arizona. The Reds keep in touch with players in the off-season to monitor their health. So far, the reports on all of them are encouraging, although the club will know for sure when they take physicals on Friday before the first workout. "So its probably an easier question to answer once we get through physicals tomorrow, but Im optimistic well be in good health," Price said. NOTES: Price is curious whether the bad weather on the East Coast will interfere with players travel. He said four club officials who were expected for a staff meeting on Thursday couldnt make it because their flights were cancelled. ... The position players report next Wednesday for physicals and the first full-squad workout. The Reds open their spring training schedule against the Indians on Feb. 26. ' ' '
