The Cowboys hope to welcome all of their COVID players back this week, starting with cornerback Anthony Brown. They’ll need all the personnel they can get for their wild-card matchup with San Francisco, as the early line has Dallas just a 3-point favorite. But would the Cowboys hit a three-pointer if it came to that? Special teams coordinator John Fassel admitted that kicker Greg Zuerlein is having a “psychological” issue that’s causing his frequent misses this season.
All that, plus ticket prices skyrocketed after the 49ers were announced as the postseason opponent; San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan talked about the rivalry between the two clubs. COVID concerns aren’t over; Mike McCarthy talked about players being smart and possibly even entering a hotel bubble… all while two star players flew to Indianapolis to hang out on the crowded sidelines of the CFP National Championship Game. The Cowboys rank No. 1 in one impressive category, we’re handing out end-of-year awards, the Dallas coordinators are drawing more interest, and there could be more yellow flags on the horizon in Sunday’s game. Here’s all the News and Notes.
