We countdown the days to kickoff giving you an interesting fact about each number. Today is number 7

We are at day 7 of our 99 day countdown and just a week away until the regular season. Here is your daily fact associated with number 7.

In 2007, Tony Romo made one of most incredible running plays of his career, and he didn’t even get that far upfield.

The Cowboys were on the verge of achieving a 4-0 record for the first time since 1995, the year they last claimed the Super Bowl title. They were set to compete against the St. Louis Rams, who were struggling with an 0-3 record and would ultimately fall to 0-8 before securing their first victory of the season.

During the third quarter of the game, Romo successfully completed three touchdown passes, including a 59-yard and a 37-yard touchdown to Patrick Crayton, followed by a 17-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten.

But the highlight of the day was undoubtedly Romo’s impressive scramble just before halftime. The sequence began with an errant shotgun snap from Andre Gurode, which sailed over Romo’s head. In pursuit of the loose ball, Romo found himself deep in the backfield, struggling to secure the bobbling ball, inadvertently pushing it further toward his own end zone.

After a moment of panic, he managed to recover the ball, positioned a full 33 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Rather than opting to fall on the ball or throw it away, Romo made the bold decision to run with it, initiating his advance upfield while deftly evading two would-be tacklers. As he approached another defender poised for a significant tackle, Romo executed a remarkable juke, sidestepping the opponent. He then accelerated toward the first-down marker with determination.

Despite his considerable efforts, Romo officially recorded a four-yard gain on the play, but the play did result in a first down. Five plays later, during another third-down situation, Romo advanced up the middle for a 15-yard run, securing the go-ahead touchdown with just 11 seconds remaining in the first half. The Cowboys ultimately triumphed in the game with a score of 35-7.
