VIDEO: Tony Romo didn’t know what down it was
By ArtieFufkin
As if things haven’t gone bad enough for Dallas QB Tony Romo so far this season, video has now surfaced showing Romo during the critical closing moments of Sunday’s Cowboys/Broncos game, seemingly unaware of what down it was.
The Cowboys were driving the field, down 17-10, with less than a minute to play. On 1st down from the Denver 8-yard line, Romo completed a pass to Patrick Crayton and then spiked the ball at the 2-yard line to stop the clock. That made it 3rd down. But following 2 consecutive incomplete pass attempts to Sam Hurd, it seems that Romo still thought he had one more chance to tie the game up.
Watch the video from MyFoxDFW.com:
This is a non-story. Romo told the media this evening that he thought it was fourth down but that they yard markers still said third down after the fourth down play had been run. That’s why he starts to walk off the field but stops.
Romo has been getting hammered more than any other player in football this season. Everything Dallas is doing right now is being critiqued, more than any other team in football. Some of it make sense; some of it does not.
Romo wasn’t confused about downs vs. Broncos. well, he is streaky both good and bad. if jerry jones cant accpet that, he can consider a trade.
