The are preparing to open Thurman Munson Jersey up their postseason on Sunday afternoon with a home matchup against the . Somehow the specter of continues to linger. Sunday is the first playoff game for both rookie quarterback and rookie running back . Many believe if the Cowboys got down to the Packers, they would consider throwing Romo in there and, , Jerry Jones confirmed it's a po sibility. "Dak Prescott , you see a quarterback that plays to the strengths and to the best of our team," Jone said. "Should that not be there, then we have a backup quarterback that's got a good chance to do some good things out there too." SportsLine Add that with what Jones said about the 2007 playoffs -- basically a lo s to the still stings him badly -- and it's not surprising he might be willing to break gla s in case of emergency when it comes to Romo. "In 2007 , we let the Giants come in here and beat us with the same home-field advantage throughout that we have now," Jones said. "We have not only looked at that tape 15 or 20 times, I don't think I'll ever forget it. Being that close to touching it and letting it Jorge Posada Jersey get by you. If it's going to hurt you that bad, then you better circumcise the mosquito in terms of your thinking to get ready to go again." The Cowboys probably won't get down 21-0 or 28-0 or some variation of three scores or more. But if they do, it wouldn't be surprising at all to see Jones see what Romo can pull off. Prescott led the team to a 13 David Robertson Jersey -3 record, losing only two games that actually counted this season. But the Cowboys dream season can go up in smoke at any moment because of the single-elimination nature of the NFL playoffs. Jones in the and has even admitted he has in his team. NFL Playoffs In a bizarre quote, Jones also said he struck a deal with his higher power, willing to take a third Super Bowl (the one Barry Switzer won) in exchange for never winning another one. "The third Super Bowl that I had a chance Mariano Rivera Jersey to be involved in, I made a deal with the man upstairs and said 'If you'll just do it for me, I'll never ask again. This will be it, if you let me win this third Super Bowl, I won't ask again,'" Jones recalled. "I've been trying to re-trade that deal for the last 20 years. And I've put a lot on the line. I'm going to shove almost every bit of it out there this time if he'll make this deal with me and let me go one more time." Whoops. Talk about premature. It's 1996, you've owned the Cowboys for seven years, you've already won two Super Bowl titles, you're only 54 and you're swapping one more Super Bowl win for an eternity without any more titles? That's a terrible gamble! But it's also insight into how badly Jones wants to win a Super Bowl. He knows he has a Babe Ruth Jersey chance this year, which is why it shouldn't be surprising he's willing to use Romo to get there.
