ARLINGTON, Texas - Tony Romo passed the first test with his surgically repaired back, and Baltimores defence and special teams made three more scoring drives from Joe Flacco an afterthought. Deonte Thompson returned a kickoff 108 yards for a score after Romo threw a touchdown pass in his preseason debut for Dallas, Flacco had a scoring toss and the Ravens beat the Cowboys 37-30 on Saturday night. The Ravens (2-0) also got a 26-yard fumble return for a touchdown when Courtney Upshaw picked up a botched handoff from Romo and stayed on his feet while Romo tried to drag him down by his jersey. Romos final play was a 31-yard touchdown pass to Dez Bryant midway through the first quarter. "He looked good," Bryant said. "He wanted to show the world he is 9 and hes a baller." Dallas is 0-2 in the preseason. Baltimore led 14-7 before Flacco took the field for the first time late in the first quarter. He threw a 19-yard scoring pass to Torrey Smith for a 24-10 lead late in the first half. Romo was expected to take about a dozen snaps in first game since surgery for a herniated disk that kept him out of a loss to Philadelphia in playoffs-or-bust finale last December. That ended up being two possessions after a botched exchange with running back DeMarco Murray led to Upshaws score. "My mindset was to pick it up quickly," Upshaw said. "Romo was kind of trying to get out of the way, so I just took advantage and broke through his tackle to score a touchdown." Murray had 25 of his 34 yards rushing and a 21-yard catch on the next drive, which ended with Bryant leaping over Ravens cornerback Dominique Franks at the goal line and falling into the end zone. "I thought I got some good carries, got some good work out there today," Murray said. "Always wish for more, but thought it was a good first game." Romo was 4 of 5 for 80 yards, and Bryant had three catches for 59 yards after both skipped the preseason-opening loss at San Diego, along with several other offensive and defensive starters. "Some things came up that were a little different we hadnt seen," Romo said. "We were able to communicate and be on the same page and the receivers, me, the linemen. It just shows we are doing some going things and are further along than you might usually be this early." Thompson answered Romos touchdown by getting to the left sideline untouched and having only kicker Dan Bailey to beat, which he did easily around midfield to put the Ravens ahead for good. Thompson also had a 50-yard kickoff return. Flacco had a rougher start than in Baltimores win over San Francisco in the exhibition opener, when he led an 80-yard scoring drive on his only possession. But he finished 9 of 14 for 133 yards in what turned into another solid showing with first-year offensive co-ordinator Gary Kubiaks version of the West Coast offence. After punts on either side of a drive to the first of three field goals from Justin Tucker, Flaccos only touchdown drive was kept alive by a roughing-the-passer penalty against George Selvie on a third-down incompletion. The Ravens scored two plays later after Flaccos longest pass of the night — a 38-yard to Jacoby Jones — and Smiths over-the-shoulder catch in the end zone despite tight coverage from rookie cornerback Terrance Mitchell. "We came out slow, werent really firing on all cylinders, and didnt keep ourselves on the field," Flacco said. "But I thought we did a good job of fighting through it." Like Flacco, Romo backup Brandon Weeden wasnt as smooth in his second preseason game. He underthrew Terrance Williams just enough to give Baltimores Chykie Brown a chance to break up what otherwise would have been a scoring pass and finished 10 of 19 for 129 yards with a sack and an interception. The Ravens gave up 184 yards and 11 first downs with their first team on the field in the first quarter, including Romos 83-yard scoring drive. But the backups were solid for a team looking for depth on a unit struggling with injuries. NOTES: Ravens RB Ray Rice played only the second series and had two carries for 21 yards, including an 18-yarder. He has a shoulder bruise that isnt considered serious. ... Baltimore CB Jimmy Smith left the game early with a chest contusion that is considered mild. ... Cowboys LB DeVonte Holloman was sidelined by a neck injury. ... Cowboys S Ahmad Dixon was benched because he was late to a walkthrough practice. He was the defensive standout for Dallas against San Diego. Justin Bethel Jersey .

Shanahan, fired following a rocky fourth season with Washington, will interview Wednesday to be Clevelands offensive co-ordinator. Hes to meet with coach Mike Pettine, who has been assembling his staff since his hiring last week. The 34-year-old Shanahan and father Mike Shanahan, the Redskins former head coach, were let go by Washington on Dec. 30 after going 3-13. Shanahan has interviewed for at least two other co-ordinator positions this month, but was passed over by Baltimore and Miami. Also, the Browns intend to interview Raiders quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo on Thursday. Shanahan spent four seasons with Washington after two as Houstons offensive co-ordinator. He and his fathers relationship with Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III reportedly deteriorated during this past season, and at least partly contributed to the teams decision to move in another direction. Shannahans offences finished in the top 10 in the NFL in yards four times.dddddddddddd DeFilippo spent two seasons in Oakland — his second stint with the team — after working for the New York Jets. He was an assistant quarterback coach on the same staff as Pettine, who spent four seasons as Rex Ryans defensive co-ordinator before going to Buffalo last season. A native of Youngstown, Ohio, DeFilippo also coached at San Jose State. Pettine hired former Buffalo linebackers coach Jim ONeil as his defensive co-ordinator on Monday and named seven other assistants to his staff. An experienced offensive co-ordinator is crucial to Clevelands turnaround. The Browns, who had four offensive players in the Pro Bowl, are expected to select a quarterback early in Mays draft and the new co-ordinator will have a hand in his development. The Browns were interested in former Houston coach Gary Kubiak, but he was hired as Baltimores offensive co-ordinator on Monday. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org ' ' '
