Drew Brees has as many TD passes in first half as Tony Romo has completions

The first half for the Dallas Cowboys in their game against the New Orleans Saints has not been kind to them whatsoever. They’re getting blown off the field by a score of 28-10, they’ve lost their star linebacker, Sean Lee to a hamstring injury, and Tony Romo is not playing well at all.

Now, Romo’s woes, in particular his stats, are a stark contrast to that of his opponent tonight, the ever-spectacular Drew Brees.

Brees has been lights out in the first 30 minutes of the game, going 26-of-30 for 252 yards. He’s also thrown three touchdowns.

That number, three, is very significant.

That’s because that’s also the number of completions that Romo has in the first half. Yes, Brees has as many touchdown tosses as Romo has completed a pass to a receiver.

Currently, Romo is just 3-of-9 for 20 yards–which undoubtedly has the makings of a fun night on the internet if this keeps up.

Anything negative involving Tony Romo, I’m pretty sure, is what keeps the internet alive.
