He’s back.
Tony Romo saw his first game action of the season Sunday during the Dallas Cowboys’ matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Romo made the most of his playing time, throwing a touchdown pass to Terrance Williams on his first drive of the campaign.
Romo’s time on the field was short-lived, though, as the Cowboys put Mark Sanchez in at quarterback on the next drive. Sunday’s performance leaves Romo’s season stats at 3-for-4 on passing attempts with 29 yards and one touchdown.
As Dallas is set to embark on the postseason as the NFC’s No. 1 seed, it will have a security blanket on the bench. Not many teams have the luxury of having a four-time Pro Bowler as their backup quarterback.
