Romo, Bryant not on same page on first INT
ARLINGTON, Texas – One of the key plays in the Cowboys' 34-18 loss to the Chicago Bears was a 25-yard Charles Tillman interception return for a touchdown. The play stands out because it gave the Bears a 10-0 lead and showcased some apparent miscommunication between Tony Romo and Dez Bryant. Bryant ran deep and Romo threw short. Tillman didn't stay with Bryant, he waited and was in perfect position to make the grab near the visiting sideline and jog in for the game's first touchdown. "You just have to give credit to the defensive back," Bryant said. "We thought that he was going and he stopped and he played it. He just made a good play on it." Bryant, who said there was no excuse for his three dropped passes, was one of the last players to exit the locker room, still sitting in his game pants after the majority of the team had already showered and departed. "I know what kind of team we are," Bryant said. "We're a great team. We're a family and we play good football. Tonight, it was just unfortunate for us. They were the better team. They came out and played and came out with the W." Bryant added: "I feel like we're mentally tough and we're going to get through it. We're going to get ready for Baltimore." Bryant finished with eight receptions for 105 yards, his second 100-yard receiving game of his professional career.
