Brad Johnson will start for the Cowboys today

Adam Schefter of the NFL Network confirmed that Brad Johnson will start for the Cowboys today in place of the injured Tony Romo (fractured pinkie). Coach Wade Phillips said, "He's an experienced winner. There's a lot of backup quarterbacks who go in and play, but the team has to believe in the guy. A guy who has all of the experience and has won all of the games he's won and takes command like he does, has prepared to play every week, I think the team reacts positively to."

Our View: Brooks Bollinger will serve as the No. 2 quarterback as well. Johnson could be rusty in his first start of the season, but does have a favorable match-up against the Rams' 25th ranked pass defense.
