Tony Romo threw for three touchdowns and ran for a fourth score Saturday night, helping the Dallas Cowboys stop a two-game losing streak with a 31-15 victory over the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The win gave the Cowboys (8-6) a half-game lead over the New York Giants in the NFC East.

The Bucs (4-10) lost for the eighth straight time.

Romo threw a pair of 8-yard TD passes to Miles Austin and Dez Bryant in the first quarter, then finished a seven-play, 89-yard drive with a 9-yarder to Laurent Robinson to make it 21-0 with just under 5 minutes remaining in the second quarter.

Romo made it 28-0 on a quarterback sneak in the closing seconds of the opening half.
