Tony Romo is actually a clutch player, and the stats prove it

You never get a second chance to make a first impression, but Tony Romo is doing his best to alter perceptions that he is not a clutch player.

For most NFL fans, their introduction to the Dallas Cowboys quarterback came when he botched a snap in the playoffs eight years ago against the Seahawks, leading to a loss in a game many thought was in the bag. From there a penchant for turning the ball over at the worst times possible led to a reputation that Romo was a guy who always made mistakes when the game was on the line.
