Tony Romo staked his claim as one of the elite quarterbacks of the National Football League (NFL) with a series of phenomenal performances. He threw for more than 300 yd in four of the first five games of the season and on November 29, in a 37–27 victory over the Green Bay Packers, notched his 30th touchdown pass and thereby broke Danny White's team single-season record for scoring passes. In the Cowboys' next outing, on December 9, Romo engineered an 11-play, 83-yd drive in the game's final two minutes to secure a come-from-behind win over the Detroit Lions that gave the Cowboys their first National Football Conference (NFC) East Division title in nine years. Romo finished the regular season with 36 touchdowns and 4,211 passing yards—another franchise record.
Romo, the son of a Mexican American father and a mother of Polish and German descent, spent most of his childhood in southern Wisconsin, where he idolized Packers quarterback Brett Favre, whose aggressive, risk-taking style of play he eventually sought to emulate. Although Romo was a standout player for Burlington (Wis.) High School, he was not recruited by the major college football teams and wound up attending Eastern Illinois University, a Division I-AA school in Charleston, Ill. At Eastern he was a three-time (2000–02) Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year, and in his senior season he received the Walter Payton Award as Division I-AA's top offensive player.
