Tony Romo Asked Cowboys For Chance To Win Job Back

I don’t know if the team wrote his statement and made him read it or if he did.

“What you saw the other day in my mind was him turning it on, ” Jones said. We’re talking generic now, and I have no plans for him not to be part of the Dallas Cowboys. The front office simply sought a reliable play caller that could hold down the fort if Romo’s injury problems returned. Such was the case in week 3 of the preseason when Romo went down with a back injury and was projected to be out about 8-10 weeks. I think Dak knows that I have his back. Romo knowing the offense can be the Cowboys’ ideal safety net. Sunday is the ideal opportunity to prove them wrong. Romo practically agrees with critics that the Cowboys are better left as they are with a change looming risky to what the team has already established. After a touchdown to Terrell Owens, the Ravens gashed the Cowboys defense with a 77 yard rushing touchdown on their very next play from scrimmage.

Dak hasn’t played more than 13 games in a campaign, so it’s basically 1 1/2 seasons without a break for him. And they’ve done it without linebacker Elvis Dumervil for a month, but he should be back against Dallas.

Mailbag: What’s next for Romo? An improving defense. Talented running backs and wide receivers. If the Ravens can mimic what the Giants did to the Cowboys during Week One, the Cowboys streak could be over with. But heading into Week 16 and their final game at Texas Stadium, the Cowboys were 9-5 and primed to make a push for the playoffs with control of their destiny.

“I think that’s what we’re all trying to do”. Cowboys-21, Ravens-17.

“They’re the best and we’re the best, and somebody is going to come out on top”, Brandon Williams said about the looming game. The Cowboys need to make sure their rookie quarterback is clean in the pocket.

“I have playmakers all around me and Pro Bowl guys who have been doing well in this league for a long time”, Prescott said.

This will be the Cowboys stiffest game yet. Either way, it should be a matchup between two teams hitting their strides and looking to keep things rolling down the stretch. That’s beat the Cowboys. Number indicates that the Baltimore Ravens should be able to move the ball. Some of that might be because teams trailing late in games have been forced to throw.

On top of an excellent passing offense, the Cowboys have potential MVP candidate Ezekiel Elliott at running back, who now leads the league in rushing with 1,005 yards, which is the third-most rushing yards for a player’s first nine games. The Cowboys are vulnerable against the pass because of injuries in the secondary and the lack of a pass rush. Cowboys-31, Ravens-21.

RESPECT THE KICKERS: Dan Bailey of Dallas and Baltimore’s Justin Tucker rank 1-2 in National Football League history for field goal accuracy.
