After the Dallas Cowboys improved to 8-1 with a thrilling win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Jerry Jones gave rookie Dak Prescott a vote of confidence as the team's starter.

"We are going to let the decision make itself," Jones said. "Dak has got a hot hand, and we're going to go with it."

Tony Romo is healthy after missing the first half of the season with a back injury.

"It's just going with the obvious," Jones said. "You are going with how the team is doing right now. It must not be obvious because I get asked about it every time I open my mouth. It's not hard. It's not hard at all. Tony would make the same decision. That's what you do."

Romo was inactive against the Steelers, but will serve as Prescott's backup next week against the Baltimore Ravens.

"There's no fragileness because Tony is on board to ride this thing out as well," Jones said. "Absolutely. Absolutely. Let me be real clear on that. There is no equivocation. He is totally committed to doing the very best thing to win the game."
