The Cowboys playoff hopes are now in the hands of Kyle Orton. Romo has had his ups and downs, that are well documented, but you can’t question his toughness. He was seriously injured and gutted out that win for the Cowboys against the Redskins.
Cowboys QB Tony Romo has been ruled out the rest of the season due to his back injury, per league source.

*UPDATE*
Jason Garrett on Romo: He's going to get treatment each day and we'll evaluate it on a day-by-day basis.
