Tony Romo says he didn’t attack Cowboys fans
By Mike Dyce
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is backtracking his comments about the team’s fans.
The Dallas Cowboys got a big win last Sunday over the Houston Texans, their in-state rivals, at home at AT&T Stadium. After the game quarterback Tony Romo revealed that the Cowboys had to use a silent count because of how loud the Texans fans were in the stadium, something unprecedented for a home team though a recurring problem for the Cowboys.

“We played on the road today in that football game,” Romo said when speaking to the media following the game. “We need to do a better job as a fan base.”
Romo has since clarified those comments in an interview with former professional tennis star Andy Roddick was at Valley Ranch on Wednesday, though it didn’t air till Saturday.
“No. Cowboys fans are the best fans in the world,” Romo said, via Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News. “Just in that specific game, you just obviously don’t want to be going to a silent count in that situation. But it’s also Houston. That’s an in-state rival. I can understand that. I don’t think it will be like that going forward.”
That doesn’t really explain what happen when they opened the season against the San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys play on the road today at the Seattle Seahawks, then return home to host the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins, so we’ll see how the crowds look at those games.
