As we continue to reflect on the holiday often referred to as Christmas, did you know that Tony Romo has thrown 156 consecutive passes without an interception? As my former colleague Todd Archer points out, it's the third-longest streak in club history. Earlier in this decade, it was surprising to see Cowboys quarterbacks go consecutive quarters without an interception. But Romo's doing a much better job of protecting the ball this season.
I can remember Bill Parcells constantly barking, "The throwaway's a good play!" to Romo. It seems like Romo's finally gotten the message as he attempts to lead the Cowboys to their first playoff win of the decade.
"It's unrealistic to think you're going to 16 games without throwing an interception, but that's the goal," Romo said. "The goal each week is to not give the other team an advantage with the ball in bad situations. The importance of the ball matters. For me I'm seeing it, I'm doing some things a little differently that I'm not going to tell you. But they've helped me to minimize certain decisions that I've made in the past and that's part of growing up and being experienced on the football field."
On Sunday night, Romo will face the last team he threw an interception to. Commanders inebacker London Fletcher had an interception in his team's 7-6 loss to the Cowboys. I'm curious to know what changes Romo made that are leading to him cutting back on fumbles and interceptions. It's not like he's stopped taking chances. But no matter what the explanation is, he's obviously having the best December of his career. And that's a great sign for the Cowboys.
In other news, I had a chance to visit with Jason Campbell via my radio gig this afternoon. Once the podcast is up tomorrow, I'll pass it along to you guys. But just to let you know, Campbell thinks everything that happened last week (new G.M.) caused the Commanders to become distracted. He believes will have a much different approach against the Cowboys.
He also informed me that the Skins had an unbelievable practice today. Watch out, Cowboys fans.
