The last time Tony Romo threw five interceptions, the Dallas Cowboys escaped with a win. It was a much different outcome on Monday night. Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs each took back interceptions for touchdowns in the Chicago Bears' 34-18 rout of the Cowboys. Jay Cutler threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns on 18-of-24 efficiency and Brandon Marshall gained 138 yards receiving with a score on seven catches for Chicago (3-1), which defeated the St. Louis Rams last Sunday. Matt Forte, a game-time decision due to a high ankle sprain suffered during the Rams contest, carried the ball 13 times for 52 yards. Romo, who matched a career- high with his five picks, did the same during an Oct. 2007 game against the Buffalo Bills. Nick Folk's 53-yard field goal as time expired, though, gave Dallas an improbable 25-24 victory. Romo registered 307 yards and a score through the air on 31-of-43 passing for the Cowboys (2-2), who defeated the Tampa Buccaneers last Sunday. Jason Witten caught 13 balls for 112 yards and a score, while Dez Bryant hauled in eight passes for 105 yards in the setback.
