Kyle Orton did a great job backing up Tony Romo. He even threw his game ending interception for him!

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night 24-22. The Cowboys starting quarterback, Tony Romo, was recuperating at home following back surgery, and backup quarterback Kyle Orton was at the Dallas helm. The Cowboys had a chance to regain the lead on their final drive of the game when Orton threw an interception:

Football fans, Dallas and otherwise, elevated Orton to instant Romo status:
That was a great Tony Romo impersonation by Kyle Orton. Killer game-ending INT. Similarities uncanny. #NFL

Who needs Tony Romo when there's Kyle Orton?

Orton noticed there was only one set of footprints. "That was when I carried you," said Romo. "Over there is where we fell down the well."

Right now Tony Romo is saying, "Come on, man. I could have done that."

Kyle Orton asks, "What would Tony Romo do?", then throws game-ending interception. #SNF

Romo comforts Kyle Orton with a pat on the back but misses and falls down the stairs and Orton tries to help him up but falls in a toilet.

Dallas Cowboys suffer from the ultimate backfire of replacing Tony Romo…. with another version of Tony Romo.

Even though Orton was playing quarterback, some fans blamed Romo anyway:
Facts of Life:
E will always equal MC^2.
The Law of Motion will stay true.
Tony Romo is to blame for the loss.
No Matter What.

But let's be clear about one thing: This is still Tony Romo's fault. #DALvsPHI

The Eagles move on to host the New Orleans Saints next weekend, and the Cowboys move on to get yelled at by Jerry Jones.
