Garrett: Romo's Decisions Hard To Overcome
IRVING (105.3 THE FAN) -- Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw for 281 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. But three first-half mistakes ultimately defined Romo's return to competitive football.
Romo was intercepted on three consecutive drives which led to 14 points for San Francisco, putting the game largely out of reach for Dallas.
"Tony did some good things in this game. We were able to sustain drives really throughout the game, and he was a big part of that," said head coach Jason Garrett on Monday on 105.3 The Fan. "He made three bad decisions in this game. He'd be the first one to tell you that."
"It's hard to overcome those three plays. It's decisions, the throw, it's whatever goes into making those plays. Tony has the ball in his hands, and he has to be better with it."

Garrett said that Romo physically "came out of [the game] alright" -- his first regular season game since undergoing back surgery in December. But health aside, many critics are quick to question No. 9's decision making and tendency to throw the ball in obvious running situations.
Garrett acknowledged Monday that many of the called plays have a run-pass option.
"Tony's job there is to simply execute that part of the play and get us into the right call," said Garrett. "Sometimes you just want to run the ball regardless, and sometimes you just want to throw it regardless of what the defensive look is. We'll look at those individually and make sure that he's clean with his decision making in that, and we're making sure we're getting into the right looks."
