Tony Romo says Dak Prescott has 'earned the right' to start for the Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys have been one of the NFL’s best teams so far in 2016, jumping out to an impressive 8-1 record through nine games.
But, with rookie QB Dak Prescott, a former Mississippi State star, filling in for injured starter Tony Romo, there was a potential problem looming over the team.
However, on Tuesday, Romo put those concerns to rest, saying he understands that Prescott gives the Cowboys the best chance to win right now:
Romo: "Dak Prescott has earned the right to be our quarterback – as hards as that is for me to say."

Romo added that he’ll continue to support Prescott and help the team in whatever ways he can:
Romo: Something magical is happening to our team. I'm not going to let something negative happen to Dak or the team by being a distraction.
