Tony Romo‘s 2015 campaign was cut short due to injuries. He broke his left collarbone against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2 and was sidelined until Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins. In the following game against the Carolina Panthers, he re-injured his shoulder getting sacked ending his season. During the season, Romo threw 121 passes completing 68.6% of them for 884 yards (7.3 ypa), 5 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. In this series, we will take a look at his touchdowns in a detailed stat breakdown on the first page, then take a look at some of his touchdowns using All-22 film on the second page to see the general trends of how he scored. In the following article, I will take a look at his interceptions to make a similar comparison and see how he can improve in the future.
Please take a look at the other articles I have written about him here, the Dallas Cowboys, or his touchdowns and interceptions from the 2014 season.
