During the bye week preceding Sunday’s 24-21 win over the New York Giants, coach Jason Garrett restructured the play-calling, moving quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson up to the booth with Callahan and opting to relay the plays to Romo himself.

The changes came after Dallas averaged just 278.4 yards over a five-game span that ended with the offense producing just 193 yards in the 49-17 loss at New Orleans.
