Romo named NFC Offensive Player of the Week

Tony Romo's performance last week was an award-winner.

The Cowboys quarterback was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday after throwing for 345 yards and two touchdowns, despite a rib fracture. Romo completed 20 of 33 passes, including a 77-yard completion to Jesse Holley that set up a game-winning field goal in the 27-24 overtime victory on Sunday at San Francisco.

It's Romo's fifth NFC Offensive Player of the Week award. The last one came in November 2007 after a victory against Green Bay.

Romo's 345 passing yards were his sixth-highest total, and the touchdown passes gave him 20 consecutive games with a touchdown pass, extending his team record.

You never would've guessed that after he throw 7 incompletions in a row at one point.

Well earned for that 2nd half comeback and playing with the injuries he had.

Well deserved, I believe those 7 incompletions started at the end of the opening drive..

He choked in that 2nd quarter

He was also playing with the same injury he was in the 2nd half, but without the painkillers. I'll cut him some slack for that in hindsight.
