Cowboys' confidence in themselves didn't hinge on Atlanta outcoming

So says Tony Romo. "We understand we're probably not as bad as you guys may have thought we were at certain points of the season,'' Romo told reporters Wednesday in Irving. "When they crown you champion in September and October, you're probably not that good, either. It happens every year. "I said this to you guys a few weeks back. Go ahead and give the Super Bowl trophy to all those teams that are undefeated, because stuff changes throughout the year. There are a lot of different things that end up happening. "We just have to keep improving, keep grinding and keep getting better and see where everyone is at the end.'' Nice stuff, Tony. But I think the truth is the Cowboys gained a ton of confidence from swatting the Falcons 37-21. Now all they need is a similar win on the road. They'll get their chances in two weeks when they face the Eagles in Philly.
