Dallas Cowboys defensive end Jeremy Mincey didn’t mince words after his team’s 24-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
It was quarterback Tony Romo’s first game back after sitting out seven weeks with a broken cavicle. The Cowboys are 0-7 without Romo and 3-0 with him.
“Romo made a difference,” Mincey told reporters after the game. “He is the savior of our season.”
There’s good reason for confidence in Dallas to swell now that Romo is back. He is 15-3 in his past 18 regular-season starts, and he was a controversial no-catch call away from playing for the NFC Championship Game last year.
