DALLAS, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Veteran Jon Kitna says he's ready to step up from backup to starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys with Tony Romo out 6 to 8 weeks.
Romo suffered a broken collarbone in the second quarter of a 41-35 loss to the New York Giants Monday night. Kitna came in and completed 16-of-33 passes for 187 yards and two scores in his first regular-season action in more than two years.
