It was only a matter of time before Tony Romo does what he normally does statistically on a big stage.
Playing on a national stage and in the home of the defending world champion (and bitter NFC East rival) New York Giants, Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys played the role of party stoppers in grand fashion. Very few gave Romo and the ‘Boys much respect coming into this contest and considering big-game failures of the past they seemed to have good reason; It doesn’t seem as though the Cowboys win very many games like these anymore.
None could have felt more vindicated than Romo, whose 96.9 career passer rating is second in NFL history and came in having posted passer ratings over 100 in his last four against the Giants with six touchdowns and one interception. Many had dubbed him a choke artist or a fraud in big moments.

Dallas Cowboys 24, New York Giants 17.
I couldn’t have been more wrong on my prediction for this game, and boy am I glad for that! I had picked a 27-24 Giants win as I figured it was too steep of a mountain for Dallas to climb to win this game. But it turns out, these aren’t your 2011 Cowboys. And thank goodness for that. The 2011 version of the Cowboys, which had problems closing...
