Tony Rovember: Tony Romo Continues to Rule Month of November

Tony Romo has built and earned a reputation as a poor quarterback when December comes around. In years past, he has had some of his worst games in divisional battles in December. Sometimes, these games have determined the season for the Cowboys. The reason why these December games often are pivotal in the standings of the playoff race is because Romo is completely ridiculous and out of his mind in November. Wow. Simply unbelievable.

For his career, Romo is 16-2 in November with 46 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He wins games, he makes plays and he plays mistake-free football. The majority of Romo’s mishaps occur when he is trying to do too much. It seems like  November brings out the relaxed Romo who is not trying to make that extra play, not trying to make a game-winning play early in the game and certainly not trying to do too much.

The key for Romo is to figure out what November is and what December is not. The great thing about this situation is that Romo has shown his teammates what he can do. He needs to find what works in November and then sort of emulate himself during the December games.

What makes all this more impressive is that each year, the Cowboys play three games in 12 days because of their Thanksgiving game. This year was no different with a Nov. 13 win against the Bills, a Nov. 20 win against the Redskins and a Nov. 24 game against the Dolphins. Simply unbelievable play.

For the December games to be relevant and meaningful and to have the ability to contend for a division title this year, Tony Romo must continue to rule November.
