DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys quarterback controversy may be over, and Tony Romo might have said so himself.
In a news conference Tuesday, Romo admitted that Prescott had earned the starting QB job, and Romo said he would support that decision.

Romo recently recovered from a back injury, and during his recovery, Prescott helped lead the team to an 8-1 start on the season. While Romo might be the better quarterback, many feel that Prescott is the hot hand and that the Cowboys shouldn’t make changes while things are working.
Whether it means that Romo stays with the Cowboys is yet to be seen, but it looks like Romo conceded the race to Prescott on Tuesday afternoon.
