Tony Romo had one of the all-time great Decembers in 2014

[simmytbone]

Hey guys,

The Dallas Cowboys have accomplished many things in 2014:

They won all 8 games on the road making them TRUE Road Warriors, they swept the AFC South including 2 AWESOME Teams in the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts and they clinched the NFC East for the 1st time in 5 years

They also went to Seattle and def. the Seahawks, snapped a 4 game losing streak by def. the Chicago Bears for the 1st time in 10 years and they snapped a 3 game losing streak against the New Orleans Saints for the 1st time in 5 years

But their biggest accomplishment was winning all 4 games in the month of December

Here's the story:

It's a new year and maybe time for a new narrative surrounding Tony Romo. Long known as a guy who can't close (because of minimal playoff appearances, a fumbled snap in Seattle and some high-profile turnovers), Romo and the Cowboys stepped on December's throat as they finished off their playoff run.

Pete Prisco did a wonderful job highlighting Romo's success in his always excellent "After Further Review" column but it warrants mentioning just how incredible Romo played when the lights were brightest.

His final December statline, in four games: 83/111 (74.8 percent) for 987 yards (8.9 yards per attempt) with 12 touchdowns and one interception.

Three of those games were on the road, two were division battles and in his one home game, Romo completed 90 percent of the passes as the Cowboys bludgeoned the Colts.

His 133.7 passer rating in December (as Pete noted, the highest ever for anyone with more than 100 attempts) vaulted his season passer rating to 113.7, the sixth-highest in NFL history for a single season.

His December run is arguably the greatest ever; he's the only quarterback with 950 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and just one interception in December.

And of the nine players with 950 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and just one interception, Romo had by far and away the highest completion percentage, yards per attempt and passer rating.

There's a long way to go for Romo to justify all the accolades he's received the past month or so. Put another way: lose at home to the Lions in the playoffs and the talk will crank back up.

But as it stands right now, Tony Romo should be about 60 January football minutes away from shutting down the narrative that he can't win big games late in the year.
