You know, I keep hearing and reading how Tony Romo won’t become a top-notch quarterback – never mind his 103.3 QB rating leads the NFC and is third in the NFL behind Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger – until he quits taking so many chances and throwing so many interceptions. OK, he does have 11, and that’s like 27th in the NFL. But does anyone saying this stuff realize five of those 11 interceptions came in one game? Look, I know they count, but he had one really bad game that he won. Peyton Manning threw in a clunker on Sunday and he didn’t win. So that means in the other eight games, Romo has thrown six interceptions, but never more than one in any of those games. That means his percentage of interceptions would fall from 3.8 to 2.5, moving him up from 24th to 11th in his first full season of starting in the NFL.

Wonder if those folks realize Romo has thrown for more than 300 yards in five of these nine games. Only Brett Favre has more 300-yard passing games this season in nine games, but you know what, only one more (six). Romo’s five ranks second in the NFL, and guess what, one more than Tom Brady and one more than the Mannings combined.


Here is one of those obscure stats that I find quite interesting about Terrell Owens’ season: His 18 receptions on third down are the most in the NFC and his 285 receiving yards on third down leads the NFL.

Hey, it’s Redskins week. Don’t let their 5-4 record lull you into a false sense of security heading into Sunday’s game at Texas Stadium. This will be the 95th game in the series, and 36 of the previous 94 games have been decided by less than a touchdown, with two ending in ties. Strange things have happened in this series
