If you search for the dictionary definition of a class act, you'll probably find a picture of Tony Romo.
For the first time all season, Romo will be active and in uniform for the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. He broke a bone in his back in the preseason, forcing him to miss Weeks 1-10.
During that time, his Cowboys have dominated the competition. They currently sit at 8-1 behind the extraordinary play of their offensive line, rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott, and rookie signal caller Dak Prescott.
Prescott's rise was easily the most unexpected. Zeke was the fourth overall pick in this year's draft, and the o-line has long been regarded as the best unit in the league. Nobody thought Prescott, a fourth pick, would be a difference-maker for Dallas. Seven quarterbacks were drafted before him, which, in hindsight, seems ridiculous.
When Romo went down in August, there was no question among the Cowboys' brass that he'd start upon his return. Now, with Dallas streaking, he'll be relegated to the backup role.
Rather than pout about the predicament, Romo handled the situation with the utmost class. He spoke to the media on Tuesday afternoon, pledging his support to Prescott as the Cowboys' starting quarterback while discussing the importance of the team over himself individually.
