Tony Romo is primed for a big comeback season. He’s finally healthy after missing most of last season with a broken collarbone. With the addition of rookie workhorse running back Ezekiel Elliott, the ‘Boys are picked by many to win the NFC East.

So, all set. Ready to go, right? Not so fast.

Yesterday, a picture of the franchise quarterback, posted to Twitter by Dallas Morning News writer Jon Machota, spread through Twitter like wildfire because Romo looked, well, fat.

Twitter was extremely sympathetic towards Plus Size Romo. Just kidding, they predictably crucified him:

Well, it turns out that, upon further review, the ruling on the internet was overturned. Apparently, the pic was just a bad angle.

So Romo looks ready to go, and Cowboys fans can breath a labored sigh of relief. Romo and the Cowboys can now turn their sights toward feasting on the all-you-can-eat buffet of the NFC East.
