LONDON - The numbers will say that Tony Romo was 20-of-27 for 246 yards and three touchdowns, but his performance was really much deeper than that. His will to play with pain is legendary, and make no mistake, on this chilly evening in London he was in pain. He physically wasn’t right and deep down inside he knew it. You could tell the way he sat on that bench between series that he was fighting through this one. Romo knew there was a huge difference between being 7-3 and 6-4 going into the bye. This team had already thrown a game away against the Commanders and could ill afford another. This start wasn’t as much about him as it was for his teammates. Once he put on that jersey, it was all the medicine that they needed to go get this victory.
I just so happened to be on the field while Dez Bryant was going through all of his pregame routines, and he took a minute to stop and talk about the field conditions and what type of shoes he was going with. Bryant has a habit of changing shoes a couple of different times during a game, but he told me that he took his best pair from the week and that was the only one that he was going to use. Bryant is a perfect player to play in these types of conditions, where the field is just a hint on the messy side. His ability to play with power while also maintaining his balance is a huge advantage against opposing cornerbacks. With Bryant, I am finding myself not so much focusing on the way he catches the ball, but how well he is running his routes. This is going to take him to that next level as a wide receiver in this league. On his second touchdown, Bryant even made the comment in his postgame interview that he felt like he came off the line well with some explosiveness and that allowed him to finish the play the way he wanted to.
