The Giants INT was essentially a hail mary so it's stupid to call that INT a choke and calling a game where he went 25/36 for 506 yards and 5TD with 1INT a bad game is pretty stupid. It shouldn't have even ended the game, but their D was so bad that year that Denver kept getting first downs rushing up the middle to kill the rest of the clock.
I also can't think of any games where he went out with an injury, only to come back and beat a creampuff team. Unless you're talking about when he fractured his ribs and punctured his lung against the 49ers? The same 49ers went 13-3 and made it to the NFC Championship
Did you completely miss the part where I literally pointed out the 5 TD/1 Int game probably fits your "had to play perfect" for them to have a chance narrative? I was agreeing with that. People were asking for examples of big mistakes in the 4th quarter from Romo. It still qualifies, and led to a loss in what was a tied game. On the whole, he obviously played well enough that they should have won by 20 points almost any other day.
