IRVING, Texas (AP)—The best part of Tony Romo’s last outing wasn’t setting a Dallas Cowboys record by completing 88.5 percent of his passes.
It was the zeros in his stat line, as in 0 interceptions and 0 sacks - again.
Romo just pulled off back-to-back games without either of those drive-ruining plays. It’s something no other quarterback has done this season and something he’d never done in his career.
Of course he hadn’t. This is Tony Romo, the quarterback known for his reckless gambles, especially those that don’t pay off. He’s the guy whose head-slapping flubs earlier this season prompted speculation that his coach no longer trusted him.
Romo said Thursday there are a variety of reasons for his consecutive crisp outings, including a revived running game led by rookie DeMarco Murray.
