Filed under: Cowboys, Eagles, NFC East, NFL InjuriesJim Johnson’s defense brought the heat on Sunday and Tony Romo was the unhappy recipient of the Eagles’ swarming blitzes and constant pressure. According to the Dallas News blog, Romo’s back was causing him so much pain following the game that he collapsed in the shower and needed two people to help him down a single step.

As discussed ealier, Tony Romo once again came up very small in a big game. The Cowboys QB was often viewed as a savior for America’s Team, but after failing to get Dallas into the playoffs once again, all is not well in Big D.

When asked how he deals with all of these tough defeats, Romo responded, “I wake up tomorrow and I keep living.”

Albeit with a painfully sore back and vacation plans.

Romo’s loud-mouthed receiver, Terrell Owens, called the game an “old-fashioned butt whipping.” It’s safe to say his quarterback would agree.
