Jessica Simpson stayed away from the Dallas Cowboys 21-14 win over the Carolina Panthers on Saturday night as Tony Romo starred once again for the Star brigade.  Last week Romo had one of his worst games as a pro with Simpson in the stands in her cutesy pink #9 jersey.

The starlet was an apparent no-show at Saturday’s Dallas Cowboys game against the Carolina Panthers in Simpson’s native Texas – a week after fans criticized her presence as a distraction to her boyfriend and Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

Romo, 27, had a great game this time, rebounding from his Dec. 16 performance, when Simpson, in a pink Cowboys jersey, watched from a luxury box.

Ruin Romo masks (with Jessica’s face) were created for this weeks game to distract Romo but they were ineffective.

Thanksgiving weekend Romo flew to Hollywood and was caught in several lip-locks with Ms. Blonde Ambition.
