2015 SCHEDULE

• In the 31-20 win at the N.Y. Giants (11/11), completed 20-of-28 passes (71.4%) for 247 yards and four
touchdowns. Was the third time in his career that he has thrown at least four touchdown passes (the second
time this season) in a game.
• Against Washington (11/18) completed 22-of-32 passes for 293 yards and four touchdowns to Owens with
one sack and one interception. Was the sixth time in his career with at least three touchdown passes in a
game - the second time he has had four-or-more. Became the first quarterback in team history to throw
four touchdowns in back-to-back games.
• In completing 19-of-30 passes for 309 yards and four touchdowns against Green Bay (11/29), raised his
season total for touchdown passes to 33 and broke White’s previous club mark of 29 (1983). His four
touchdown passes also gave him the Dallas single-season record for games with at least four touchdown
passes (four) - previous mark was held by Meredith (three) in 1966.
• At Detroit (12/9) completed 35-of-44 passing attempts for 302 yards and a pair of touchdowns to spark
Dallas’ last-minute come-from-behind 28-27 victory that clinched the club’s first division title since 1998.
Established a team record for consecutive games of throwing at least one touchdown pass (17) - Aikman
(16) in 1993-94. Logged his seventh consecutive game with a passer rating above 100.0 - the fifth-longest
streak since the passer rating system was implemented in 1973. His 35 completions were a then singlegame
career-best and set a club record.
• Against Philadelphia (12/16) experienced his worst career passer rating (22.2) as a starter to date and
completed 13-of-36 passes for 214 yards with three interceptions. Also ended a club record streak of 17
straight games in which he had thrown at least one touchdown pass.
• At Carolina (12/22) completed 28-of-42 passes for 257 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Set a Cowboys record for passing yardage in a single season with 4,125 - eclipsing the previous mark of
3,980 that was held by White (1983). The 10-yard touchdown pass to Owens raised Romo’s single-season
record for touchdown passes to 36.
• In the playoff loss to the N.Y. Giants (1/13/08), Romo’s second career postseason game, completed 18-
of-36 passes for 201 yards, one touchdown and an interception.
2006:
• After completing 69.6 percent of his passes in four preseason games, Romo’s storybook regular season
in 2006 had a familiar beginning - on the bench as the backup quarterback to Bledsoe.
• His role changed at halftime of the sixth game, a Monday night loss to the N.Y. Giants (10/23) at Texas
Stadium. Romo replaced Bledsoe as the starter in the third quarter, beginning a whirlwind journey that
ended with a Pro Bowl selection on December 19.
• Became the sixth Cowboys quarterback to make the Pro Bowl, and the first since Aikman in 1996.
• His 95.1 quarterback rating was the third-highest in club history, behind Staubach’s 104.8 in 1971 and
Aikman’s 99.0 in 1993. It also ranked fifth in the NFL and third in the NFC.
• In his 10 regular season starts, completed 204-of-310 passing attempts (65.8 percent) for 2,641 yards
and 16 touchdowns with 10 interceptions for a 96.2 rating.
• The Cowboys went 6-4 in the regular season when Romo started.
• Became the first Dallas starting quarterback to throw for more than 220 yards in his first eight career
starts, a streak that was snapped in the loss to Philadelphia (12/25).
• Closed the year first in the NFL with 8.6 yards-per-passing attempt.
• Finished second in the NFL with a 65.28 completion percentage and a 5.6 touchdown percentage.
• His completion percentage was the third-best in club history, behind Aikman’s 69.13 in 1993 and Aikman’s
65.29 percent in 1991. Also threw for more than 250 yards in three consecutive games, becoming the
first Cowboys quarterback to accomplish that feat since Aikman did it in the first four games in 1993.
• Behind Romo’s emergence, the Cowboys had one of the most productive and efficient offensive seasons in
club history, scoring 425 points (26.6 points-per-game), fourth in the NFL, the most by the Cowboys since
1995, and the fourth-most by the Cowboys since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978.
• Dallas was second in the NFL with a 48.8 third down efficiency, the club’s highest rating since 1980.
• Dallas averaged 360.8 total yards-per-game, fifth in the NFL in 2006 and the most by Dallas since 1995.
• The Cowboys produced two 1,000-yard receivers (Owens and Terry Glenn) and a 1,000-yard rusher (Julius
Jones) in the same season for just the second time in team history.
• Before his first start in 2006, saw significant action in the fourth quarter of the win against Houston (10/15).
Completed his first career pass attempt to Sam Hurd for a 33-yard gain. His second pass resulted in a twoyard
touchdown by Owens.
• Replaced Bledsoe to start the second half in the Monday night loss to the N.Y. Giants (10/23) and completed
14-of-25 passes for 227 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. His second passing touchdown
was a 53-yard pass to Crayton, the Cowboys second-longest completion of the season.
• In the nationally televised Sunday night win at Carolina (10/29), made his first start and led the team to a 35-
14 victory. Went 24-of-36 passing for 270 yards, one touchdown, one interception and was sacked twice
with an 86.6 quarterback rating. Became the 13th quarterback in Dallas history to earn a victory in his starting
debut. His 270 passing yards were the second-most by a Cowboys quarterback who won his first start.
• In his second career start, at Washington (11/5), was 24-of-36 passing for 284 yards with no interceptions
and threw for two touchdowns for the third week in a row.
• In the 27-10 win at Arizona (11/12), was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after posting a 126.8
rating. Completed 20-of-29 passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns. Was the first 300-yard game of
Romo’s career. Extended his streak of consecutive passes without an interception to 94 and threw a touchdown
for the fourth straight game. In the second half, was 10-of-10 passing for 144 yards and a touchdown.
• In the 21-14 win over previously undefeated Indianapolis (11/19), threw for 226 yards and completed 19-

touchdown passes since Aikman at Washington (9/12/99) and just the ninth time in club history. From the
second quarter to the fourth, Romo completed 13 consecutive passes, tying the second-longest streak in
club history (14-Pelluer and Randall Cunningham).
• In November, Romo’s first full month as an NFL starter, helped Dallas go 3-1 and was named the NFC
Offensive Player of the Month. Completed 85-of-117 passes (72.6 percent) for 1,124 yards, nine touchdowns,
