Why Dallas Will Win the NFC Wild Card
If the Dallas offense kicks it into gear, forget it.
Yeah, the Week 18 blowout over Philadelphia came against the backups, but the 56-14 win over Washington in Week 16 was the real deal.
Dak Prescott has been fantastic, he’s spreading the ball around to all of his targets, and the running game has been able to make up for the issues with Ezekiel Elliott’s knee problems with Corey Clement stepping in when Tony Pollard can’t.
The offense is the star, but it’s the defensive side that’s been helping to make games ugly.
The D leads the NFL in takeaways, and for all of the good things San Francisco has done over the back half of the season, turnovers have been an issue.
The 49ers have given it up six times in the last four games, they’re 0-3 when turning it over three times or more, and they’ve given up multiple turnovers in eight games.
If Dallas comes up with multiple takeaways – it’s done it 12 times – it has this.
