Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo may play through a rib and lung injury on Monday night because the reward outweighs the risk. If Dallas beats Washington, they would move into a tie for first place in the NFC East. Romo's lung has reportedly healed, but he still has a fractured rib. "As you play the position, and you've been here a while, you just know how precious each game is, how important each season is," Romo said. "You just don't want to miss a game. ... The Packers just get into the playoffs last year. They were banged up, a lot of things were going on, and then they get rolling and stuff happens. So a game matters. I understand that. Sometimes you're only afforded one or a couple opportunities. You need to take advantage."
