PITTSBURGH — The oil man’s son burst into the locker room before even his father, making his way from locker to locker, showering gollys and hot-damns on whomever would clasp his outstretched hand. He found Tony Romo, the former starter, in a suit, and Dak Prescott, the rookie, emerging from the showers, and the three came together. “How about this guy?!” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones exclaimed, pointing to Prescott, who only grinned. “He’s the man,” Romo said. “Unbelievable.”
That was the word Romo kept repeating on Sunday evening underneath the bleachers at Heinz Field, as he stuck around the dispersing locker room and hugged or shook hands with coaches and players, including his former understudy.
