At least for a week.
After one of the most Gawd-awful performances of his career - or, let's face it, any career - in Pittsburgh, the Cowboys' quarterback went out Sunday night and padded his legacy with a game straight from Hollywood.
Aching back and nagging teammates be damned, Romo willed Dallas to a crucial victory over the Giants by throwing two touchdowns, committing zero turnovers and withstanding four brutal sacks.
Two more games like that and he just might finish in the Top 5 after all. Another Steelers' stinker, however, and not only will he fall into double digits, but his team will miss the playoffs.
Pressure? What pressure?
