Tony Romo’s Signature Games: America, Meet Tony Romo

In honor of Tony Romo’s retirement, we’ll take a look back at some of his signature games as the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.

The Thanksgiving Day 2006 contest at Texas Stadium marked the moment that an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Illinois became an “overnight success” in the eyes of football fans around the country. After two seasons without taking a snap as the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Romo introduced himself on the national stage.

Those of us who bleed blue and silver had already met the strong-armed passer a few weeks earlier, but a national audience would get their chance to take a look at what was generating the hype out of North Texas.
