Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips came up with that answering a question about his quarterback after Sunday's 38-17 victory against Seattle.
Romo had just finished his career-best third straight game without an interception, which coincides with a three-game win streak that ties Dallas with the Philadelphia Eagles atop the NFC East and sets up a first-place showdown Sunday night.
Phillips was trying to describe his whole team, but the connection was notable. And the coach continued the theme Monday, even after some time to think about it.
"We all know Tony played well and has been consistent throwing the ball for most of the games this year, but really the last three," Phillips said. "He's thrown it to who he needs to throw to."
Romo's gunslinging reputation - the bad side of it - grew in the first regular-season game at Cowboys Stadium. With a record crowd and huge television audience watching, he threw three interceptions that led to three New York touchdowns in the Giants' 33-31 win.
His fourth interception was a big one in Denver, wiping out a great scoring chance in a 17-10 loss. But that was also the last one. There have been eight touchdowns among the 106 Romo passes in the past three games.
"You're always looking to never make a mistake, everyone being on the right page, everyone doing the right things," said Romo, who was a steady 21-of-26 for 256 yards with three touchdowns against Seattle. "You're always striving for that each week. The reality of it, though, is that it's not going to happen every week."
