Just standing on the sideline four days after surgery is one thing, but how does Mike McCarthy safeguard against taking a dangerous hit during Sunday’s big game? There’s a plan for that as the marquee matchup of Week 14 draws nearer. Also in this edition of News and Notes, DaRon Bland looks to shake off his Seattle stumble, the Philly D is worried about Dak Prescott creating plays on the fly, and how the Cowboys offense can make sure Terence Steele doesn’t have a repeat performance against the Eagles.
Both teams are coming in healthy, but there are bold predictions that suggest a Cowboys catharsis. We break down how Dan Quinn’s group can shut down Jalen Hurts, and we take a deep dive into what the assignment of head referee John Hussey actually means to the Cowboys. (Hint: It’s not about some secret Eagles fandom.) All that, plus a look at McCarthy’s complicated relationship with analytics, and Prescott goes for laughs- and simultaneously dunks on Cowboys opponents- in a public service announcement to deliver a serious message.
