DALLAS COWBOYS SUCCESS SEEMS TO BE CATCHING

ARLINGTON ­ We spent all off-season trying to figure out what the heck Jerry Jones meant by "Romo Friendly."

Now, we know.

Every question you've had about the phrase Jerry coined while explaining the reasons for T.O.'s release should've been answered Sunday in the Cowboys' 38-17 blowout win over Seattle.

This is all you need to know: One minute into the second quarter, Romo had completed passes to Jason Witten, Miles Austin, Patrick Crayton, Sam Hurd and Roy Williams.

Uh-huh. That's right. Much-maligned Roy Williams caught a pass in the first quarter. Heck, he even caught a touchdown pass in the third quarter.

Forgive me, I digress.

The point is that wherever the coverage took away receivers, Romo successfully went the other way with the ball.

Hence, "Romo Friendly."

Romo took that approach the entire day, finishing the game 21-of-36 for 256 yards with three touchdowns, no interceptions and his third consecutive passer rating of more than 100.

Ten players caught passes, and Romo can drop back and throw the ball wherever he wants without worrying about appeasing T.O.'s ego. This is the Romo we saw in 2007, when he strung together seven consecutive games with a passer rating of at least 100.

Actually, the Romo we've seen the last three games is better because he's not making dumb decisions. This Romo has not thrown an interception in 120 pass attempts, spanning 13 quarters.

This is the first time Romo has gone three games without an interception.

Wow.

"He's playing great," Crayton said. "He's in control. He's making plays and not making mistakes."
