http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/3273 Recent articles about Tony Romo en-us Dallas Cowboys linebacker Keith Brooking was concerned about the health of quarterback Tony Romo throughout Sunday's win against Washington. Romo injured his back making a tackle after a first-quarter turnover. He stayed in the game but had difficulty. ``I must have asked him 10 timew `are you okay?' '' Brooking said. ``You could tell he was hurting, but he kept going out there and grinding.'' Romo put together a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. It ended wi...

He said he took a pain-killing injection afterward but he doesn't think it will keep him out of the Thanksgiving game against Oakland on Thursday. Romo took a knee to the back while taking down (ahem) DeAngelo Hall after a first-half fumble. "As long as it's not a broken bone that keeps you from missing time," Romo said. "I felt like with the adrenaline of the game you can alw...

But for the second consecutive game, they scored just seven points. Let's just say Tony Romo wasn't doing cartwheels _ not that he could with a bruised back. "It's not what you hope for, obviously,'' Romo said. "We didn't play as well as we'd like, today. I think that was obvious. "But I was proud of the guys for continuing to fight, not giving up and believing throughout the game that we were going to win the game. You don't ...

He said he got through the game on adrenaline. "During the moment of the snap, you are not thinking about it," Romo said. "I didn't think about not playing, put it that way." He expects more treatment on the hip this week. As far as the lackluster offensive performance for the second straight week, Romo said he was frustrated but gave credit to a good Redskins defense. "My hats off to them," he said. "The...

They will no doubt be sore coming off a game when Tony Romo and Mike Jenkins were banged up adding to their growing list of injuries. But history is on the Cowboys side. They are 26-14-1 in Thanksgiving Day games and have won three straight on Thanksgiving. And, more importantly, they are 26-15 the week after Thanksgiving games. Of course, going to New York won't make it easy to continue that trend of success.

Romo wiggled free from Brian Orakpo after he couldn't do it the drive before and was able to find Crayton in the end zone. This time, however, it puts the Cowboys up 7-6. Romo completed all but one pass - a Crayton drop - on the drive and he also had a 5-yard scramble for a dirst down. Can the defense hold up?

Escaping heavy pressure, he rolled to his left, directed traffic with his finger and then fired to an open Crayton in the center of the end zone. Dallas leads 7-6 with 2:41 left. The big play on the drive was a Romo scramble for a 5-yard gain on third-and-3 from the Dallas 47. He then completed four-straight passes to get Dallas to the 9.

They are now three of five. After a failed third-and-1 run by Marion Barber - out of the shotgun - the Cowboys went for it on fourth-and-2 from the Washington 38 and Tony Romo had a pass intercepted by London Fletcher. That actually wasn't so bad because the Cowboys gained some yardage there. The bad part was allowing linebacker Brian Orakpo to get pressure on Romo before he could find an open receiver.

But he just did today. Witten was wide open in the corner when Romo threw an interception under pressure on fourth-and-2 from the Washington 39. Former UT star Brian Orakpo beat a weak block attempt by Marion Barber to get in Romo's face as he threw blindly over the middle to Redskins LB London Fletcher. It's 6-0 Washington with 10:03 left.

In fact, Jones was the nearest intended receiver on Tony Romo's last throw. Jones is pacing the sidelines, cheering on the defense. With the way the offense is going, the defense or special teams better come up with a big play because this is going to be a struggle. They just announced a crowd of 85,277 and it sounds like there might be 852 people in here. This stadium does get...

Now they've gone four drives Sunday vs. Washington without any points. The Cowboys are 1-for-4 on third down with Roy Williams unable to hold on to a high Tony Romo throw. He was bobbling the ball before being hit by LaRon Landry. The play before Romo missed Miles Austin for a would-be first down. Either Austin went in to deep against the zone coverage or Romo just missed him. The Cowboys...

Tell that to Romo after he was shaken up making the tackle on DeAngelo Hall after Washington's fumble recovery.

So far they are abusing the middle of the Washington defense. But Marion Barber ended the drive with a fumble on a London Fletcher hit. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall recovered the loose ball and while making the tackle Tony Romo appeared to suffer an injury to his side. Romo is walking along the sideline with assistant head coach Jason Garrett and doing some throwing near the bench. He doesn't look comfortable.

You want to be able to do everything well so that way when the game calls for 45 passes, you do that well. When the game calls for 45 runs, you do that well. ... If we can run the ball,...
