| Tony Romo focused on Cowboys, not records Tony Romo wears a Dallas Cowboys cap stitched with 1960, the number reflecting the first year of the franchise. Taped to his locker is a business card from Roger Staubach, one of the team's two Hall of Fame quarterbacks. While Romo knows about the history of the five-time Super Bowl champions, he's not ready to consider his place in it -- or even what the NFC-leading Cowboys (8-1) might be able to accomplish this season. The Cowboys can still win 14 or 15 games, something they've never done. What about being on pace to have the first 4,000-yard passing season by a Dallas quarterback, and be the first with more than 40 TDs in a season? "I don't play the game for any records or any stuff like that," said Romo, who has already thrown for 2,555 yards and 23 TDs this season. Even after getting that $67.5 million, six-year contract last month, and having the No. 1-selling jersey on NFL.com, Romo still has that aw-shucks response when asked about the greatness of his season and the Cowboys' chance to do something they've never done in the regular season. Romo, who signed with Dallas as an undrafted rookie in 2003, is 14-5 since becoming the Cowboys starter in the seventh game last season. His eight 300-yard games are already third most in team history, behind only Danny White (10) and Troy Aikman (13), the Hall of Fame quarterback who won three Super Bowl titles in his 12 seasons. Only seven Dallas quarterbacks have more career yards passing than Romo's 5,458, and it's very likely by the end of this season only Aikman, Staubach, White, Don Meredith and Craig Morton will be ahead of Romo on that list. cbs11tv.com - Tony Romo Focused On Dallas Cowboys, Not Records
