Terrell Owens sent an early morning pep text to Tony Romo to let the Dallas quarterback know he's still behind him. He just won't get the chance to do it again this season.
The mercurial wide receiver said that he's still the same guy who shed tears for Romo after last year's first-round playoff loss. He says he'll do it again after the Cowboys' 44-6 collapse in Philadelphia Sunday.
All the Cowboys needed to do was beat the Eagles to at least salvage a playoff berth in a season stuffed with controversy. But Romo couldn't lead them into the end zone. He was sacked, he fumbled, then he was benched late in the disastrous loss at Lincoln Financial Field.
According to multiple media reports, Romo suffered a rib injury late in the game and collapsed in the shower after. He had to be helped to his feet by teammates. Romo had X-rays and was able to meet with reporters, though he blew off questions about his health.
