With new girlfriend Jessica Simpson watching from a private suite, Tony Romo played terribly Sunday in the Cowboys' 10-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.Romo was 13-36 with 214 yards and 3 INTs for a career-low 22.2 quarterback rating. (Ouch! That might hurt worse than his bruised thumb!) But more importantly, Romo was unable to piece together a much-needed scoring drive, despite several chances in the fourth quarter.
This blog will never turn into a gossip column, but Sunday's game had to feel like deja vu for Dallas fans: the last time Romo played this badly was also against the Eagles, and there was also a special someone rooting for him up in the box.
In December 2006 it was American Idol winner Carrie Underwood rooting for Romo, but the result was almost identical. Romo struggled (45.5 passer rating), the 'Boys lost, and the relationship -- well, it was never the same.
At 12-2, Dallas is still sitting pretty for home field advantage throughout the playoffs, and Romo's thumb should be healed in time for the games that count, which don't start until January.
And as for Romo's personal life, we're not here to speculate. But we suggest that owner Jerry Jones enact a permanent ban on dating the cheerleaders, if he hasn't already. They show up at every game, you know.
