He won 78 regular-season games.<\/p>\n<p>Romo, now an analyst for CBS Sports, did not win a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>He never got closer than the divisional round, even when the Cowboys entered the postseason with home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. In fact, Romo was only 2-4 in four postseason appearances.<\/p>\n<p>If Romo has a regret, he said on Pardon My Take that it\u2019s not bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not a guy with big regrets, I guess you could say. The only regret I guess I would have is that . . . my job was to <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rjochoa\/status\/2076697627396382939\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">bring a Super Bowl to Dallas<\/a>, and I didn\u2019t do it,\u201d Romo said, via RJ Ochoa of BloggingTheBoys. \u201cSo that always sticks with me a little bit. Because you give your whole body, heart, soul, everything into it, and you just wanted that for . . . all the fans, the Joneses, for everybody that you\u2019re around. And so that one always sticks with me a little bit just because I had that opportunity and just wasn\u2019t able to do it. So that part of it kind of still . . . sits there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Romo was \u201cWally Pipp\u2019ed\u201d by rookie Dak Prescott in 2016 after Romo injured his back in the preseason. He retired after the season rather than go elsewhere at 37.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end it was like . . . I could go somewhere else and do it, because I was like, I\u2019ve got to win a Super Bowl,\u201d Romo said on Pardon My Take. \u201cIt\u2019s literally what you play the game for. Nothing else matters. And it just was like . . . but would that be the same if I went somewhere else and did it? Because at that point, I\u2019d known the game at such a high level. My last 20, 25 games, we were pretty successful, when [I was] healthy. But I was getting injured more often. [The] body breaks down in some ways through the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it was as simple as it just wouldn\u2019t feel as important. It would be important to me, but it was for the people I was around. All the fans that we had.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tony Romo has a Cowboys\u2019 team-record 248 touchdown passes and ranks second in franchise history with 34,183 passing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":761464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-761463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=761463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/761464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=761463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=761463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=761463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
