Despite strong regular-season performances, playoff success remained elusive. The team reached the postseason multiple times but fell short of the ultimate goal. Romo expressed deep commitment to the organization throughout his career during an appearance on Pardon My Take.
“I’m not a guy with big regrets, I guess you could say. The only regret I guess I would have is that… my job was to bring a Super Bowl to Dallas, and I didn’t do it,” Romo said. “So that always sticks with me a little bit. Because you give your whole body, heart, soul, everything into it, and you just wanted that for… all the fans, the Joneses, for everybody that you’re around. And so that one always sticks with me a little bit just because I had that opportunity and just wasn’t able to do it. So that part of it kind of still… sits there.”
