IRVING, Texas – I’m writing this feeling a bit like a crazy person, because I wouldn’t have guessed I’d feel so alone in siding with Tony Romo.
Some context: in the wake of the Cowboys’ 39-28 loss to Atlanta on Sunday, my esteemed coworkers presented me with an interesting hypothetical. Having watched both the stagnant Dallas offense and the hapless Dallas defense in the second half against the Falcons, who did you miss more? The team’s plethora of missing defensive starters, or its Pro Bowl quarterback?
Within this hypothetical, choosing the defense includes no shortage of big names.
