Tony Romo is headed from the football field to the relative safety of the broadcast booth, and the Detroit Lions shouldn’t necessarily be glad to see Romo go.
Detroit had relative success against the retiring Dallas Cowboys quarterback, going 3-2 against Romo as a starter, including beating Romo two of the last three times he faced the Lions.
The most memorable meeting for Romo against Dallas came in the playoffs though, and caused the Lions much heartache.
In a wild-card round game Jan. 4, 2015, Detroit led 20-17 in the fourth quarter when the Lions gave Romo and the Cowboys the ball following a picked-up flag on a potential pass interference call on Dallas linebacker Anthony Hitchens.
