LANDOVER, Md. (AP) – Tony Romo celebrated the go-ahead touchdown pass by bouncing up and down like a little kid and patting teammates on the back with his left hand, carefully avoiding any further damage to his heavily wrapped right pinkie.

A few minutes later, Terence Newman celebrated a fourth-down stop by running around with both arms outstretched, like a child imitating an airplane.

Romo and Newman were back Sunday night, and so are the Dallas Cowboys, who put themselves firmly back into the NFC playoff race with a 14-10 victory over the Washington Redskins.

Romo overcame a pair of first-half interceptions to complete 19 of 27 passes for 198 yards, including a touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett that put Dallas ahead for good with 101/2 minutes left.
