The gap between the two teams is razor thin. Dallas has lost by a combines 13pts in the two playoff games (23-17 the 2021 season and 19-12 the 2022 season).
What stood out in 2021 (the game was in 2022) was the gap in physicality between the teams on the LOS. The Cowboys did a great job of closing the gap, as evidenced by the 19-12 score this last postseason. The additions to the defense in Dallas, plus development of 2nd year and 3rd year players will be interesting to watch as it relates to their overall physicality.
Young may very well be right. Kyle Shanahan is a great offensive mind. That gives the 9ers an advantage over most teams. Dallas has questions like all teams and losing Kellen Moore is one of those. But, the gap is not as wide as the media, fans and non-football people may think.
Hopefully, the Cowboys have good health and the ball bounces the right way. Would love to see the guy who talked about getting the monkey off his back, have to talk about the Cowboys doing the same.
