Steelers are going to have to win their division to make the playoffs, which is entirely possible but they arent going to beat any of the elite AFC teams.

Cowboys are legit for first time since 1995.

Jones: Romo will back up Prescott next week

Trump wins the Presidency, Dak wins the starting job for good. Can this week get any better????
Kind of a shame too. Next week is the perfect time to start Romo because they have at least a 2-game lead over the entire NFC right now, even if Seattle wins tonight and NYG wins tomorrow. Why not start him at home against an AFC opponent? Also lets Dak get some rest before the short week game against the 'Skins.

Baltimore is the #1 ranked defense in the NFL, so even as a Romo lover I don't know if that's the best team to shake the rust off with

Moon you're crazy. Ambi covered the Baltimore D side of the idea already, but the whole point of not going to Romo is to not mess with the winning streak and rhythm that the team has with Dak in. But you want them to throw Romo in to shake off the rust and rest Dak? Could fuck up everything and only make the situation even more complicated.

Ugh, Elliot did what I thought he would do. One hell of a fucking game though.

Ben is obviously pissed, never seen him call out the Steelers leadership before like he did last night like that after the game saying "undisciplined and unaccountable" 3 times in the postgame. Throw for 400 yards no ints and 3 tds and you still lose? Tomlin and Butler have destroyed this defense....2 facemasks on the final drive( one which should have but didnt even get called) in crunch time is a microcosm of what Ben was saying.

Romo isnt playing another snap for Cowboys unless Dak gets injured.

Cowboys best team in the NFL for first time in a long, long time.

What I want is the guy who's been the unequivocal leader of the team for the last decade, the one who can read a defense from the sideline, out there playing and leading this team to the promised land. But sure, let's go with "momentum" as a reason to make Romo backup.

In the end I trust the coaches but please don't pretend you lose something if Romo plays over Dak.
