Tony Romo may have had the worst night of his career this past monday night versus the Buffalo Bills, throwning 5 interceptions and fumbling once, but this guy isn't done winning games for the Dallas Cowboys. We are talking about an undrafted QB who has gone 11-4 in his first 15 starts. This is the same guy who took the cowboys to the playoffs last year before suffering that heartbreaking loss to Seattle. Many speculated Romo would not be the same after that botched field goal in Seattle, but what does he do? Romo leads the Cowboys to 4 straight wins rather impressively. Before Monday nights game Romo had thrown for 11 touchdowns and only 3 interceptions, putting up a QB rating of 112.9. After Monday's game his QB rating fell to 93.9, still not bad. His 13 touchdown passes still leads the NFC, four more than Brett Favre. These stats don't happen by accident. Romo is no stranger to bad games either. In his first game last year Romo was thrown into the spotlight after Bill Parcells pulled Drew Bledsoe at halftime. Romo went on to throw 3 interceptions, the last interception was ran back for a touchdown, sealing the game for the New York Giants. Romo came back though. In the first start of his career Romo went on the road to Carolina to play the Panthers. Romo lead the Cowboys to 25 straight fourth quarter points to edge out the Panthers 35-14. The undrafted fourth year QB from E.Illinois went on to impress many others with 5 touchdown passes on Thanksgiving day versus Tampa Bay, and outplaying Payton Manning in Texas Stadium November 19, 2006, handing the Colts their first loss of the season. I'm not saying we should induct him into the Hall of Fame just yet, but this guy has proven he can win. Not since 1983 have the Dallas Cowboys been 5-0. We can at least thank Tony for four of those.
