Unfortunately For Cowboys, Kitna Does What Romo Did

IRVING (AP) - Jon Kitna picked up right where Tony Romo left off.

What a shame for the Dallas Cowboys.

In his first start in place of the injured Romo, Kitna threw a lot of passes because the Cowboys got behind early and because their running backs weren't doing much. Three passes ricocheted off receivers and into the hands of defenders. Another interception was purely his fault.

It was all so Romo-esque. So was the result: Solid fantasy football numbers (34 of 49 for 379 yards, with a touchdown) and another loss, this time at home against Jacksonville.

Kitna will try again Sunday night in Green Bay. The job is his for at least five more weeks while Romo recovers from a broken collarbone.
