Tony Romo and his Dallas Cowboys lost to the New York Giants 21-17 Sunday night.

And most of the blame fell on Romo's relationship with Jessica Simpson.

Sniped Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Cowlishaw:

"A lot of people thought Tony Romo made a mistake by taking off for Mexico with Jessica Simpson on the club's off weekend. He had a chance to prove them wrong by delivering a typical Pro Bowl Romo performance Sunday.

"It didn't happen."

The Associated Press also wrote that his loss certainly won't help him "quiet everyone who accused him of mixed-up priorities for joining girlfriend Jessica joining Simpson on the beach in Mexico last weekend."

Near a video on "The Jessica Simpson Factor," the Dallas Morning News is running a poll on their site asking, "What do you think caused the Dallas
Cowboys to lose Sunday's playoff game?" Simpson is a popular answer.

Romo himself admitted the loss "hurts. It's tough right now."

"I'll take the blame and I'll take the criticism here," he said, trying to deflect attention on Simpson. "That's why we're put in these positions."

But teammate Terrell Owen said the loss " is not about Tony. You guys can point the finger at him. You can talk about the vacation. And if you do that, it's really unfair ... we lost as a team."

At Dallas' Hotel ZaZa, Simpson was overheard saying she was reconnecting with Dallas, "but that's what happens when your boyfriend lives here," according to the Dallas Morning News.

Simpson was not at the game on Sunday; the last time she showed up he played the worst game of his career.
