It's funny, watching the Chicago game today I told my fiancee, "I want to see how Romo responds when he's having a game as poorly as this. Does he continue to make mistakes and crumble, or does he put it behind him and make enough plays late to win the game?"
I found my answer today.
You're not going to win every game throwing for 250 yards, a 70-percent completion rate and a 100-plus quarterback rating. It just doesn't happen.
Romo made some key mistakes today. But he battled back for two potential game-winning drives late in the fourth quarter. TWO!
He's a damn good quarterback. I have no idea what today's game will do to his "hype." But frankly, I'm more confident in him right now than I was this morning. Now at least I know how he can respond in these situations.
