Jones: Cowboys prepared to use Romo if necessary

Jerry Jones just won't let the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback controversy die.

Despite having Dak Prescott entrenched as the starter ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Green Bay Packers, the Cowboys' owner once again teased that his team is prepared to insert Tony Romo if the situation calls for it.

"Dak (Prescott), you see a quarterback that plays to the strengths and to the best of our team," Jones told NFL Network's Michael Irvin, according to Conor Orr of NFL.com. "Should that not be there, then we have a backup quarterback that's got a good chance to do some good things out there too."

Jones has previously admitted to fueling the Prescott-Romo debate in an effort to keep things "interesting."

However, it's somewhat surprising that the 74-year-old won't let the issue lie, especially with the Cowboys set to host their first divisional-round game since the 2007 season. That loss to the New York Giants still stings Jones.

"In (2007), we let the Giants come in here and beat us with the same home-field advantage throughout that we have now," Jones said. "We have not only looked at that tape 15 or 20 times, I don't think I'll ever forget it. Being that close to touching it and letting it get by you. If it's going to hurt you that bad, then you better circumcise the mosquito in terms of your thinking to get ready to go again."

He added: "The third Super Bowl that I had a chance to be involved in, I made a deal with the man upstairs and said 'If you'll just do it for me, I'll never ask again. This will be it, if you let me win this third Super Bowl, I won't ask again.' I've been trying to re-trade that deal for the last 20 years. And I've put a lot on the line. I'm going to shove almost every bit of it out there this time if he'll make this deal with me and let me go one more time."
