Yes, Romo is a Cowboys lifer. But he's also an Eastern Illinois lifer, a product of the school that also produced another big-time QB who happens to be the guy at the controls for the 49ers offense - Jimmy Garappolo.
It was exactly a year ago when Romo became the first Eastern Illinois player in history to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He finished his college career with 8, passing yards and a school- and conference-record 85 touchdown passes.
After that, of course, he became a UDFA in Dallas, going on to play 13 years for the Cowboys, putting up huge passing records - including 34, yards and touchdowns - that week by week and year by year are being surpassed by a former Dallas teammate in Dak Prescott. And it looks like the Cowboys will try to do their part while in all-hands-on-deck mode. This was a game at one point and the Eagles did rush for yards, but the defense allowed Dallas to score touchdowns on seven of nine possessions.
Hard to beat any football team that way, whether a coach is playing his starters or not. The Cowboys were able to score 14 points in the final of the first half, as Prescott went 4-for-6 for 42 yards on the go-ahead drive to put Dallas up with left in the second quarter.
Prescott threw a yard pass to Amari Cooper on second-and-3 to set up his 2-yard touchdown pass to Dalton Schultz on the drive -- one which Dallas made look easy down the field. After the Eagles went just six plays while trying to score before the half, Arryn Siposs had a poor punt that went for 21 yards and set Dallas up to score again by starting at Philadelphia's yard line. Prescott went 3 of 4 for 43 yards on the drive that resulted in a 9-yard touchdown pass to Schultz that put the Cowboys up at the half -- a drive that lasted just 19 seconds.
That drive took away any hopes the Eagles had at the upset and Dallas cruised from there. Dak Prescott passing Tony Romo for the Cowboys' single-season passing touchdown record gets the nod here. Prescott found Corey Clement in the fourth quarter for his fifth touchdown pass of the game -- his 37th of the season to set the record. Prescott found Clement -- an Eagles Super Bowl hero -- for the 8-yard score which ended up being his final pass of the night.
He finished just five yards short of on the night, but ended up with a The goal is to win playoff games, not just get to the playoffs. The Eagles played three games in 13 days and had their playoff spot sealed, so there was no reason to play their starters in a game where the highest seed they could clinch is the No. The Cowboys and Eagles will play in the wild card round of the playoffs next week. The date, opponent, and time will be determined Sunday night.
Closing out the regular season with a DUB! Onto the postseason. Quez showing off the speed. This game got out of hand fast. It doesn't mean anything at the end of the day, but the Eagles need more depth in the secondary. Then again. None of these players may be on the team next year. JaQuan Hardy's yard rushing touchdown made him the 22nd Cowboy to reach the end zone this season, a new NFL record for the most players to score a touchdown in a single season.
Ito Smith became the 21st player to score a touchdown this season for the Cowboys, which ties an NFL record for the most players to reach the end zone in a single season - LA Rams, Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots. Magazine, September-October His real name is Antonio. Antonio Ramiro Romo, to be exact. He takes his middle name from his grandfather, Ramiro Romo Sr. He comes from a military family.
Ramiro Jr. He's a Midwestern boy. When Tony was 2, the family moved to Burlington, Wisconsin, where he played soccer, golf, baseball, and basketball, in addition to football. Romo still returns to Burlington to visit high school friends and never misses a chance to grab a pie at Napoli Restaurant and Pizzeria. His number, 9, isn't random. A big fan of the film, Romo adopted the number.
