I’m gonna go ahead and say the Cowboys were probably even surprised that Deuce played that well, not because he isn’t talented, but Mike McCarthy even said in his postgame interview that he ran vanilla running plays instead of things designed for Deuces skillset, and the guy still balled out.
For all those saying 17 yards on 5 carry, just stop. Y’all know well and good that 5th Carry was a 5 yard loss from a completely unblocked DE who was on Deuce the moment he got the ball, and he STILL almost juked him. Before that he was averaging over 5yds a carry and was breaking tackles to do it. You can’t omit big gains but choose to not omit TFLs that the RB couldn’t do anything about. Foolishness
