Superman has kryptonite, Romo has the playoffs

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo needs to prove he can win when it really counts. Two years ago, he botched the field-goal hold in Seattle and the Cowboys bit the dust. And last season, he couldn't get it done against the Giants.

That's consecutive one-and-done playoff performances. And a trend that goes back even further.

Gil Lebreton of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram notes that in the last three years Romo was the starter at Eastern Illinois, his team lost each of its three first-round games in the Division I-AA playoffs.

"Superman had his kryptonite," Lebreton wrote. "Tony Romo has the playoffs."
