Romo's red hot

Tony Romo has been the subject of plenty of debate in Dallas about whether he is truly an elite quarterback, or a guy who will always come up short when it comes to winning a championship. But there’s one thing you can’t argue about Romo: When it comes to winning games in November, he’s one of the best. 

In fact, he’s the best, period.

With Thursday’s 20-19 comeback win over the Dolphins, Romo is now 19-2 in November games during his career. That’s the best mark by any quarterback in the Super Bowl era. In those 21 games, Romo has 51 touchdowns and only 14 interceptions, two of which came against the Dolphins. Romo also improved to 6-0 as a starter in Thursday games, including a 5-0 record in Thanksgiving games. 

There’s still a lot of season left, but with the Cowboys up on the Giants by a half game in the NFC East, they’ve got an excellent opportunity to make a strong run down the stretch to win the division. They face the Giants twice – on Dec. 11 at home and at MetLife Stadium to finish the season on Jan. 1 – and their remaining three opponents all have losing records. 

The Giants, meanwhile, face only one team with a losing record in their last six. Their next three: at New Orleans, home to Green Bay, at Dallas.
