Packers coach Mike McCarthy said there is no magic formula to get Green Bay back on track following its fourth loss in five games, 17-13 to visiting Chicago on Sunday night. “That’s why you’ve always got to be ready in this position as a backup”. Speaking on 105.3 The Fan, Jones said there was nothing that was “premature” in Romo’s return to the field. “Your body kind of goes into a little bit of shock”, the quarterback said in an earlier Yahoo Sports report.

That is sometimes just how the National Football League goes. I know Tony wanted it so bad and sometimes you push. “Obviously, you don’t replace a guy like Tony Romo, but at the same time, you’ve got to be you, and hopefully the guys rally around you, and you move forward”.
“He’s a warrior. He’s a fighter”. He’s a fighter. He’s obviously the leader of this team. That, for coach Mike Pettine, was too much, and he not only benched Manziel, he demoted him to the No. 3 QB spot. Romo felt the injury immediately, pounding his right fist to the turf.
“It’s nice to be in our situation, it really is”, Rivera said. It’s about getting back to work. Kuechly returned his second interception to the Dallas 29 with 2:19 left in the second quarter.
While Romo’s left arm was in a sling, he was able to leave the stadium driving his vehicle after playing his first game at home since the season opener. He missed the last 15 games a year ago with Carolina because of his domestic violence case.
So do the Cowboys spend a high draft pick on a quarterback who will spend a few years developing under Romo? Why not give Tebow a chance? “I’m disappointed I let my teammates down and the fan base down”.
“Some of the poor decisions that were made were just uncharacteristic and very frustrating”, Romo said after the game. I think we’re a great team as well. “That was the difference in the game”. This is the third time Romo has fractured his collarbone on the left side. This will now be the second time he has broken that bone and may raise questions about his future. This is not the first time Romo will be bouncing back from a collar bone injury either.
“You’re obviously devastated”, linebacker Sean Lee said. They don’t play again until December 7 against the Washington Redskins, and players are off until Wednesday.
“It’s a collective responsibility”.
But they weren’t prepared for the loss of Tony Romo. He authored an uneven performance against the Dolphins, throwing two touchdown passes but also two ill-advised interceptions. The Eagles (4-7) have lost three straight. The lowest total since 2012 and the ninth lowest total in team history. He ran when he needed to, converted third downs at critical moments and, most important, kept the ball away from the Dallas defense. Darren McFadden had 11 yards on 10 carries.
And show up they did, winning the team’s first game on Thanksgiving.
Before getting hurt, Romo didn’t look anything like the only quarterback to beat multiple teams with records of 9-0 or better.
Newton was superb, connecting on 16-of-27 passes for 183 yards and rushing for 45 yards and a touchdown.

Captain Munnerlyn was jumping up and down on Thankgiving Day when Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly had two interceptions, including he returned for a touchdown.
