That's consecutive one-and-done playoff performances. And a trend that goes back even further.
Gil Lebreton of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram notes that in the last three years Romo was the starter at Eastern Illinois, his team lost each of its three first-round games in the Division I-AA playoffs.
"Superman had his kryptonite," Lebreton wrote. "Tony Romo has the playoffs."

Ricky looks ready
The Miami Dolphins, coming off a one-win season, can take heart in this: Ricky Williams is healthy and looks primed for a big season. His agent, Leigh Steinberg, said Williams has recovered from the broken arm he suffered in his only game last season and has added 13 pounds of muscle, increasing his weight to 233.
If Williams can keep his head in the game and resist the urge to leave on another global walkabout, he could make a significant contribution.
"He's still very fast and hits extremely hard," Steinberg said. "With the extra weight, as fast as he is, he's a frightening load coming through the line."
