ARLINGTON, Texas, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Tony Romo passed for 309 yards and two touchdowns Thursday to lead the Dallas Cowboys to a 24-7 win over Oakland.

Dallas out-gained Oakland, 494 yards to 305, but led by only 17-7 after Bruce Gradkowski threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey with 5:37 left in the third quarter.

Oakland was held scoreless from that point.

Felix Jones, Tashard Choice and Marion Barber gained a combined 196 yards on 24 carries, with Jones scoring on a 46-yard second-quarter run.

Nick Folk booted a first-quarter field goal, while Miles Austin and Jason Witten caught a combined 12 catches for 252 yards for the Cowboys (8-3), who had scored just 13 points in splitting their last two contests.

Gradkowski passed for 200 yards and the one touchdown.

Justin Fargas gained 63 yards on 12 carries and Zach Miller added five receptions for 73 yards for the 3-8 Raiders.
