Speaking of quarterbacks playing well, and good numbers, I bring you Tony Romo at the 75-game mark of his career.
Saturday night's 31-15 snoozer over the Bucs was the 75th regular season start of Tony Romo's Dallas career. It seems a good time to measure Romo against the great Cowboy quarterbacks of the past -- specifically the two Hall of Famers who preceded him in Dallas, Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman. The first 75 starts of the Cowboy Three's careers, along with the productivity in those 75 regular season games:

In his last seven games, Romo has six interception-free games. In that span, he's thrown 18 touchdowns with two picks, and Jerry Jones said after the game -- and he's right -- that he wants to make the playoffs so badly this year in part because when you've got a hot quarterback, you want to get into the postseason because you think all things are possible when your most important player is playing his best.
Fine Fifteen
9. Dallas (8-6). Interesting how things go from bleak to booming in six nights. The Cowboys will need help, but if they win out they host a playoff game -- no matter what the Giants and Eagles do.
