The sample size is very small from what I can gather. He won in New York in 25 degree weather recently. He is 0-3 (37 degrees or colder)in really cold weather previously. Living in Dallas, you get really used to the warm weather. It was 80 degrees here two days ago...today its 26 and icey so of course everyone has freaked out and im sitting at home with no work today. lol
It’s been well documented that the Cowboys’ December record with Romo at quarterback is 11-15.
But Romo has actually been very good in December over the last few years. His quarterback rating during the final month of the year since 2009 trails only Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers.
To compare, here are some of the NFL’s top quarterbacks’ QB ratings during December since 2009: Rodgers 109.0, Romo 106.3, Drew Brees 106.0, Tom Brady 100.7 and Peyton Manning 99.9, according to STATS.
While overcoming the Sports Illustrated cover jinx might’ve received more attention, Romo’s most impressive recent feat has been winning in the cold.
Before that 24-21 win over the New York Giants in 25-degree weather two weeks ago, Romo had been 0-3 in games when the temperature was 37 degrees or lower.
Those previous games:
– Dec. 7, 2008 at Pittsburgh, 22 degrees, lost 20-13. Romo’s numbers: 19-of-36 for 210 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs.
– Dec. 6, 2009 at the Giants, 37 degrees, lost 31-24. Romo’s numbers: 41-of-55 for 392 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs.
– Dec. 30, 2012 at Washington, 37 degrees, lost 28-18. Romo’s numbers: 20-of-37 for 218 yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs.
