America's Team: Best Team in the NFL

In the 1990s, "America's Team" won 3 Superbowls with one of the greatest trio of all time, Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmett Smith, and one of the best defensive coaches of all time, Jimmy Johnson. Who is "America's Team"? They are the Dallas Cowboys. The are known as "America's Team" because of its high attendance and extreme passion for football in the city of Dallas. After their third superbowl win, the Cowboy's success has declined and teams such as New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, and Pittsburgh Steelers have been the best teams. Recently, the Cowboys are re-emerging as the best team in the NFL because of the emergence of Tony Romo and the talent offense.

The Dallas Cowboys are once again the best team in the NFL because of Tony Romo. After the retirement of Troy Aikman, the Cowboys did not have any success with Quincy Carter and Vinny Testeverde. Luckily the Cowboys were able to nab Tony Romo. He was undrafted from Eastern Illinois. Romo has tremendous footwork and arm accuracy. He can throw accurately on the run. He is not afraid of the pressure. He is able to find gaps and throw the football before being sacked. Sometimes, he makes poor judgments and throws an interception, but he is still learning and has vastly improved since being an undrafted prospect.

Tony Romo is having so much success because he has a balance, talented offense. The Cowboys have a balance of running and passing. When they run, they have the power of Marion Barber and the speed of Felix Jones. When they pass, they have targets like Terrell Owens, Patrick Crayton, and Jason Witten. With so many options, they can mix up their game plan and confuse the defense.
At the beginnning of the year, every scout and sports analyst said the Cowboys were the most talented. Now with Tom Brady out for the season, Peyton Manning not 100% healed, and San Diego Chargers struggling, the Cowboys are the clearcut favourite to be the best team and win the Superbowl.
