DMN Blog: What was Romo thinking?
I shortchanged Tony Romo when I wrote that he went 25 yards behind the line of scrimmage at one point of his unforgettable 4-yard run. He actually went all the way back to the Dallas 16, 34 yards from where the ball flew out of center Andre Gurode's wet hand.
What was Romo thinking at that point?
"Don't give up a touchdown and don't get killed," Romo said. "Once you pick up the ball, you try to make the play."
The funny thing is, once Romo got in the open field, I had a feeling he'd get a first down. Didn't know if he'd run for it or throw for it, but it's amazing how he's expected to make something happen on even the worst of broken plays.
"I told him he hasn't got to Steve Young status yet," T.O. said, comparing Romo to the Hall of Famer he played with at the beginning of his career. "But he's working on it."
