If Tony Romo never steps on the field for the Cowboys again, everyone should remember for a long time how he went out on Nov. 15, 2016.
It's not that Romo doesn't want to be back on the field as Dallas' starting quarterback, helping to turn an NFC-best 8-1 team into a Super Bowl team, but in his first and only press conference as the team's backup QB, he delivered the equivalent of a five-touchdown performance.
Romo held back the tears, because it wasn't a retirement speech, but he didn't hold back in sharing the physical pain he endured along the road back from another back injury at 36.
