Tony Romo had a virus, and his offense was looking a little pale too.
The Dallas quarterback changed everything with one quick drive just before halftime.
Romo directed a momentum-turning march to the second of three touchdowns for DeMarco Murray, backup Lance Dunbar led the Cowboys with a career-high 82 yards rushing and Dallas overcame the shock of Oakland's fumble return for a touchdown on the opening kickoff to beat the Raiders 31-24 on Thursday.
After getting sick the night before Thanksgiving, Romo found himself behind 7-0 before taking his first snap, and his offense didn't have a yard in the second quarter when he took the field down 21-7 with less than 2 minutes remaining before halftime.
Five completions from Romo later, Murray scored on a 4-yard run 10 seconds before halftime and set the stage for a second-half rally that put the Cowboys (7-5) two games above .500 for the first time since late last season.
