That first game was against the New York Giants. That proved to be no problem for Romo; he torched them for eight touchdowns and only two interceptions during the regular season as they swept the Giants.
However, there would be no such luck when it mattered.
Romo completed just half his passes for 1 TD, 1 INT and a QB rating of 64.7 as the Giants left Dallas and left Tony Romo with an 0-2 playoff record.
Could he recover from that?
Up until Sundays game against Pittsburgh, we had no way of knowing. But we did know that Romo was 7-2 as starter for the Cowboys and had thrown 21 touchdowns against just eight interceptions.
However, none of that came in the month that matters second most (behind January of course).
Yes, the Steelers are the leagues best defensive team. But if you are going to be a star, if you are going to be considered one of the best, you better show up when it matters.
Tony Romo was 19-of-36 with 1 TD and 3 INT's on Sunday, as the Steelers not only won 20-13, but won on a pick six courtesy of Romo. He made sure there wasn't any doubt about who lost this game. He threw an absolute duck right into the hands of the Steelers as they scurried in for the game-winning drive. As much flack as the Dallas defense gets at times, they did their part on Sunday, but Romo could not do his.
Will Romo ever turn around his career and be the superstar so many people already claim he is? Perhaps.
But a quarterback gets all the credit when the team wins, and needs to get just as much credit when they lose. Especially when that quarterback has 43 career interceptions, 27 career fumbles, a 4-7 record in December and zero career playoff wins.
