This season’s history says the Cowboys can rebound after Sunday’s loss. Nearly 20 years of history says Tom Brady owns the Cowboys. Over 40 years of history says Dallas won’t win in the playoffs if they’re wearing navy blue jerseys. As wild-card weekend approaches, we’re learning all kinds of history lessons, but there’s no telling which one will repeat itself… or if a new chapter will be written Monday night in Tampa. Ahead of the first round, we’re also looking at the Cowboys’ recent running game woes, roster moves by both clubs, and what the power rankings have to say about both the Cowboys and Bucs.
Elsewhere, Jerry Jones gives Mike McCarthy a vote of confidence, a former Cowboy could land with a divisional foe for the postseason, and how Mavericks star Luka Doncic became the unlikeliest of Cowboys fanatics. All that, plus a nuts-and-bolts look at how Micah Parsons could actually… improve his already-otherworldly game for next season and beyond. That’s all up in News and Notes.
