Cowboys' Folk Hero

Oh, my God! After watching the Cowboys vs. Bills game last night I thought I was going to have a coronary. I have no idea how Tony Romo and his team mates (especially Nick Folk) stay calm and cool on the field. After throwing five interceptions, they earned 9 points in the last 20 seconds of play to win by one point. At 20 seconds I was packing it in and heading to bed when Hubby asked where I was going because the game wasn't over yet. I had given up. My faith was gone. But, I headed back down to the living room and was astounded by what the Cowboys proceeded to accomplish. Just amazing how rookie Nick Folk kicked not one, but two 53 yard field goals after the Bills' coach called a time-out just as he was kicking the first. I was amazed. In fact, I'm still amazed by it. How do they stay so cool, calm, and collected? As for myself, I had a difficult time settling down to go to sleep after that game.
