http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/3273 Recent articles about Tony Romo en-us IRVING - How good was Tony Romo when it mattered most Sunday night? Consider this fact: On third down, he was 9 of 11 for 140 yards with one touchdown and a passer ratiing of 149.1 (stat provided by NFL.com's Adam Schefter). For the game, Romo was 21 of 34 for 307 yards with one TD (the game winner to Miles Austin on third-and-14) and one interception. Dallas is 6-0 this season when Romo passes for 250 or more yards. Over his career, he's 13-1 in November after winning his last 13 st...

Williams said the volume of passes thrown his way should not be seen as a response to last week's expressions of frustration with his performance. ``I never said anything about opportunity,'' Williams said. ``I always said I had enough opportunities. ``I knew what I said. I knew how everybody took it. But I knew how me and Romo to...

That allowed the Cowboys to run out the remaining 1:58. Philadelphia coach Andy Reid suggested his defense erred in not focusing on Witten. ``We probably should have thought about Witten a little more there, to be honest with you,'' Reid said. How the Eagles could not stack the defense agai...

Like Tony Romo, who won the weekend by not making a complete spectacle of himself. When no one notices you, you're probably doing your job right. Last year, Romo's life—and that of his team—was an embarrassing and not very entertaining soap opera. He was dating an incredibly untalented tabloid star, fighting with his wide receivers (while secretly holding late-night trysts with his tight end) a...

The biggest third down conversion for Dallas, of course, was Tony Romo's 49-yard touchdown pass to Miles Austin on third and 14 from the Philadelphia 49. The score gave Dallas a 20-13 cushion with 8:04 left. But another big one came on the Cowboys' final possession. Facing third and 3 at the Dallas 46, Romo threw...

He looked more like some guy who just finished playing a pick-up football game between fraternities rather than the multi-million-dollar NFL quarterback for Jerry Jones' Cowboys that he's b...

But after Philadelphia came back with a field goal, the Cowboys still had some work to do to secure the victory. That meant running the ball in the final 4:30. "I knew we needed a first down to win the game,'' head coach Wade Phillips said. "That's Marion Barber's time. "When they started to kick the field goal, we challenged the offensive line. We said if you want to wi...

In his two wins, he had passer ratings of 141.7 and 123.2. In his three losses: 45.5, 22.2 and 55.8. It meant, he either he was improvising and making all kinds of plays happen or he was improvising and having all kinds of stuff fail. On Sunday, his rating of 88.7 would statistically fall in the good-but-not-great category. But when it comes to practical application, it was just perfect. Romo let ...

Defensive end Trent Cole won a one-on-one battle against tackle Flozell Adams and dropped Romo.

Wtih the Cowboys at the Philadelphia 33 in the third quarter, Romo badly missed on a throw intended for tight end Jason Witten. Cornerback Sheldon Brown picked off the wild throw. Romo had gone a career-best 142 consecutive passes since his last interception, in the fourth quarter of a loss at Denver in October.

This time, it was Eagles CB intercepting a Tony Romo pass that went behind Jason Witten. Romo had gone a career-high three games without an interception, a string that covered 144 attempts.

Still, he's not perfect. Case in point, he couldn't find a wide-open Jason Witten in the end zone for a TD just before halftime. Witten was all alone in the corner while Romo scrambled away from the Eagles pass rush. After gaining time to set his feet, Romo threw to a well-covered Miles Austin along the goal line. The ball deflected away from Austin, while Witten was wav...

But so far that hasn't been the case tonight. They're 2 for 2, with Williams picking up gains of 21 and 13 yards.

If you're into omens, that's not a good one. The two times the Cowboys have betean Philadelphia with Romo as the starting quarterback, he wasn't sacked.

After answering two of them, he was asked why he believes Williams' numbers are so low. "I don't look at the numbers,'' Romo said. "I don't know what would be good numbers and what wouldn't be.
