Dallas Cowboys are Tony Romo's team, but Dak Prescott gives them a 'great feeling'

There is no controversy in Dallas.

This remains Tony Romo's team.

Never mind rookie Dak Prescott's hot start, which includes an NFL record for most passes without an interception in the first two games of a career.

Prescott's 75 is ahead of the likes of Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.

Yet, heading into Sunday's game between the Cowboys (1-1) and Chicago Bears (1-1), Prescott knows he is just keeping the job warm until Romo returns from a fractured bone in his back.

"This is Romo's team," Prescott said. "I've said that from the moment that I was named the starter and he went down. I'm just trying to do my best to win games and put this team in a successful position to do that week in and week out; and, when he comes back, I'll leave that up to the big guys."

Owner Jerry Jones agrees.

"I think Dak said it best," Jones said. "It's Tony's team. Tony has the experience and he has just the ability to make us a better team, so that's the only way you look at it right now."

Romo is expected to miss at least six games with a compression fracture in his back. But, unlike previous seasons, the Cowboys feel they are in good hands until Romo's return.

Dallas already has won as many games this season as it did in 12 games without Romo last season. It's why the Cowboys believe they have found the heir apparent.

"I think it's just a great place to be," Jones said, "if in fact you could have Tony ready to go, physically into it. I know what he brings in terms of being able to run the offense and make us a better team. And then you're sitting there with Dak Prescott, who has distinguished himself. You've got a good feeling about where you are at the position, the depth, and then you've got a great feeling about the future.

"Boy, I don't even want to go there, really, because it's a great place to be, to have someone of Tony Romo's stature that could be playing for several years, and then have Dak Prescott as well for the future. It just feels good."

There is still no timetable for Romo's return, so the Cowboys are counting on Prescott to keep them afloat. And they are very confident he will after what they have seen during the first two games.

The fourth-round draft pick has completed 62.7 percent of his passes for 519 yards. He has no touchdowns, but Prescott also has no interceptions.

Chad Hutchinson owns the Cowboys' record, with 95 attempts without an interception (over four games) to start his career, and Brady set the NFL record with 162 attempts (over seven games).

"Physically, he has all the tools that you want," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said of Prescott. "He's a big guy. He's very athletic. He's strong in the pocket. He can make any throw you could ask him to make in the pocket, any throw you could ask him to make on the move.

"He makes good throws when he's in a good position physically to make the throw -- feet underneath him, clean pocket. He makes a lot of good throws when he's not in great position, when people are chasing him or he's moving to his left or he's under duress.

"I think he's an excellent decision-maker. He's handled the different situations in the game very well. We've had success; he's handled that well. We've had some adversity; he's handled that well. We've been ahead; he's handled that well. We've been behind; he's handled that well. So I think you put all of those things together, you feel good about where he is in all aspects of his game."
