Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is confident the team can win in his absence as he recovers from a broken clavicle, suffered in the third quarter of Sundayโs 20-10 victory over the Eagles in Philadelphia.
โThe NFL really is about adversity in general,โ Romo said after the win, per ESPN Dallas. โItโs how you handle it, how you approach it on a day-to-day basis, individually and collectively as a team. The goal for our football team is to just find ways to win. I think we have guys in that room who can do that.โ
No one knows more than Jason Witten how much Romo means to the team, but he also believes moving forward in these situations actually happens to be a strong suit of this Jason Garrett-led Cowboys team.
โThe best thing this team has done under coach [Jason] Garrett is just kind of move on,โ Witten said, โas tough as those blows are with Dez and, of course, Tony. You donโt replace a guy like Tony with the way heโs playing now and what he does for our football team.โ
Before going down Sunday, Romo had thrown for 551 yards, three touchdowns and a pair of interceptions on 2015, while completing 75 percent of his passes.
