HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS Let's set the scene. Cowboys go Against The Philadelphia Eagles in a showdown for the First Round Bye, along with The Division Lead. Down Goes Dak Prescott! The Cowboys' Captain And Fearless Leader at the quarter back position. Already without their best "Man Corner" in Anthony Brown, their hopes to attain the NFC East Division Title, Leaves on the Cart With Dak. On to the Wild Card, Where a Cowboys defense that's been Tough all season, takes the intensity up a notch and Shuts Down a very dangerous Vikings offense. Que Lights And Fog. Their playoff win only earns them a chance to play Arguably the best team in the entire NFC. Some privilege huh. Well were the Cowboys up to the task? Was Dez ready? Could this Defense stop a potent Panthers offense led by Cam "Superman" Newton, And Christian Mcaffrey?! If I told you when the dust settled this game was decided by one big play that came late in the game, would you believe me? I mean cmon, No Dak, leaving a Cowboys offense to be led by the rookie Cooper Rush? Well let me throw some numbers at you. Time of possession was about even, with the Cowboys keeping the ball for 19:30s while Panthers held on to it for exactly a minute longer at 20:30s. Seems pretty even no? Well here's this. Red Zone percentage was even at 100% for Both teams. Third Down Conversions even for both Teams with 4 a Piece. First Downs also a Dead lock with Both Teams earning 9 First Downs A Piece In the Game. Offensively the Cowboys grinded out 196 rushing Yards behind Zeke, and That Stout Oline. While the Panthers rush attack was pretty much stifled, having only rushed for 89 Yards. In the Air however, the tide swings as the cowboys only threw for 53 Yards.The only highlites beings a Big time Grab by Dez Bryant to Set up the team in field Goal Range, and the other, a big grab by Jason Witten to Move The chains. But for most part that tough Panthers defense didn't budge. Cam Newton However threw for 113 yards as once again the Cowboys Defense showed they were up to task. Jason Garrett always stresses creating opportunities through Defensive Turnovers, and Making plays in the "kicking game". The cowboys did just that, Causing a fumble on the Panthers first drive of the game, by way of a Big hit from DT Maliek Collins Landed On Jonathan Stewart. Then when it looked like the momentum shifted following a Cooper Rush interception, Boom! A Big Time field goal block by Jordan Lewis to keep the score locked at 6 All. From there Zeke handled the rest, Popping a huge run to take a commanding 13-6 Lead(following an ensuing field goal) over the Panthers, late in the 4th with 2:20 on the Clock. The Panthers got one last chance but were Stopped on 4th Down. Now The Cowboys have Proved they are for real, as they move on to the Conference Finals.
