During the 60 minutes of play, the Cowboys never held a lead in the game.
Their starting quarterback, Tony Romo, not only threw five interceptions, but two were returned for scores. He also lost a fumble as well and the special teams also gave up a kickoff return for a touchdown.
And yet, the Cowboys somehow managed to beat the Bills on a crazy Monday Night Football game back in 2007.
Entering the game with a 4-0 record, the Cowboys had won by double digits in every game play so far in the season and faced a Buffalo squad that was just 1-3. However, this was the first MNF game in Buffalo in more than 20 years.
Early on, Romo looked rattled as he threw a pick-six to Bills safety George Wilson. Romo later threw another interception for a touchdown. But after a third-quarter drive led to a field goal, it seemed the Cowboys were clawing back in the game, down just 17-13. That's before the Bills got another lift on a 103-yard kickoff return by Terrance McGee, giving Buffalo a 24-13 edge.
Still, Romo kept fighting back. He engineered a late fourth-quarter drive – 12 plays for 80 yards – resulting in a TD catch by Patrick Crayton. But a failed 2-point conversion pass to Terrell Owens kept the Cowboys behind 24-22 with just 24 seconds remaining.
The Cowboys were able to successfully recovery an onside kick and after two sideline throws by Romo gained a few more yards, rookie Nick Folk boomed a 53-yard field goal for the win.
Or so they thought. The Bills had called a timeout just before the kick, forcing Folk and the kicking team to line up again. This time, Folk nailed it once more and the Cowboys finally jumped ahead with no time on the clock, stunning the Bills and their crowd, 25-24.
Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett was just four games into his stint as offensive coordinator with the team. To this day, he recalls that night as one of his "favorite games" of his coaching career, and despite the six turnovers and 49.9 QB rating of Romo, Garrett had nothing but praise for his quarterback that night.
"Tony was fantastic in that game … fantastic," Garrett said. "He did an amazing job working his way through that to give us a shot to win. For him to work though that, work through that, keep overcoming it and make plays at the end of the game. Those yards are valuable at the end. But he just fought through a lot of adversity that night. I thought that was a big game for him to fight through that."
