Prescott over Romo for now; how far can Cowboys with rookie?
FRISCO, Texas — The issue is no longer whether Dak Prescott will start ahead of a healthy Tony Romo for Dallas.
Now the question is how far the Cowboys can go with a rookie quarterback after they tied a franchise record with their eighth straight win and a few hours later ended up with the NFL’s best record when New England lost to Seattle.
Prescott’s performance in the fourth quarter of a wild 35-30 win at Pittsburgh stole any of the surprise there might have been with owner and general manager Jerry Jones declaring afterward that Romo would be the backup Sunday at home against Baltimore (5-4).
