Tony Romo has proven skeptics wrong over the course of the last two weeks. One week after leading Dallas to a come from behind victory against the San Francisco 49ers, he did the same against the "hated" Washington Redskins.
Nursing an injured rib, Romo worked his magic throughout the game and was able to gut it out for what could be a "team defining victory."
Although his statistics will not show it, Romo played a great game tonight. He acted the part of a general on the football field and directed young players where to go pre-snap. He was also able to dictate the direction and routes that were taken during the fourth quarter comeback.
This Cowboys win wasn't pretty and they had a lot of mental mistakes, something that is going to have to be fixed moving forward. Costa snapping the ball early four separate times almost cost the Cowboys a win. Bad route running by numerous Dallas Cowboys receivers had Tony Romo extremely upset throughout the fourth quarter. He was as upset as I had seen him since joining the NFL a few years back.
It was another close game for the Cowboys too. All three of their games have been decided by three points or less. And, if it wasn't for Tony Romo Dallas would probably be 0-3.
Romo showed a tremendous amount of moxie in leading his team to victory tonight. It cannot be stated enough how difficult it is to play the quarterback position with a broken rib. Everything you do in the process of throwing a pass hurts and Romo showed that pain today.
If nothing else, this win should quit Romo skeptics: at least, for the next six days or so.
On Washington's side, it was a heart wrenching loss that will have a major impact for the team moving forward. Instead of taking a full one game lead in the NFC East, Washington is now part of a three team tie with Dallas and the New York Giants. Mark this loss on your calender because it could have a major impact on how the division race plays out down the stretch in December and January.
