Tony Romo Expected To Start Vs. Redskins Despite Injury

Every Sunday, it seems like half of what we know about the NFL completely changes. So in the spirit of keeping track of what we learn (or what we think we learn), here’s a new series called “Snap Judgments.” Every week, we’ll have a rundown of what happened on Sunday, and what it (maybe, kind of) means.

By the end of the season, we’ll be able to look back at all these kneejerk reactions, and at least 50% of them will look completely ridiculous. But that’s part of the fun! Let’s start with Mike Vick.

A cracked rib did not prevent Tony Romo from leading the Dallas Cowboys to an overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers. Romo came back into the game late in the third quarter, after most starting asking how many weeks he would miss.

On his second series after returning he threw for more than 80 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown strike to Miles Austin to make it 21-24. That play had nothing on Romo’s first and only overtime pass, the Cowboys’ first offensive play of the extra frame.
