Romo's ribs can't stop him or rally
SAN FRANCISCO — Tony Romo felt sick to his stomach. It hurt to breathe, let alone bark out the cadence in a hostile road stadium.
Playing with the throbbing pain from a fractured rib, Romo rallied the Cowboys just as he promised.
Romo delivered a gutsy comeback that looked unlikely when he returned to the locker room.
Romo hit Jesse Holley on a 77-yard completion on the Cowboys' first play of overtime to set up Dan Bailey's winning 19-yard field goal in a win over the 49ers.
"I just told (coach Jason Garrett) I was good to go. I think he asked some of the guys," Romo said. "I didn't give him too much of a chance. I just ran on the field."
Miles Austin made three touchdown receptions among his nine catches for 143 yards for Dallas.
