Dallas Morning News: Tony Romo's 3 turnovers were momentarily
meaningless Sunday night when players started yelling in the
shower after he collapsed because of the pain from a rib injury.
Athletic trainer Jim Maurer and his staff rushed into the shower
as the locker room came to a near standstill. A stretcher was
wheeled in, but Romo was eventually helped to his feet and taken
into the training room. When asked later what happened, Romo said,
"Um, you know, I was just a little banged up, I guess." Romo
waived off questions about his health just like he dismissed
another December swoon. His turnovers were a key reason why the
Cowboys had their backs to the wall. Another interception and 2
fumbles fueled the blowout loss to the Eagles. Romo fell to 5-8 as
a starter in December, and his reputation for coming up short in
big games is only getting worse. "Well, I've got to play better,"
he said. "The team's got to play better. We didn't play good this
December. That's obviously the story." As for how he'll deal with
the losses, Romo said, "I wake up tomorrow and keep living. You
just keep playing the game… I've had a lot worse happen to me than
a loss in a sporting event, that's for sure."
