ESPN: Is AT&T Stadium finally becoming Cowboys' home-field advantage?

[Reality]

"We have the best fans in the world," Garrett said. "The amount of support that we get from the Dallas Cowboys fans across this country and across the world is remarkable to us. We go on the road, we have great crowds. And certainly when we play at home, when we give our fans a reason to cheer, they're outstanding.

"I think they've made a real difference throughout the year this year. I can't emphasize the point enough, that they make a true impact on the game, particularly in certain situations. Third down, red zone, when the other team's trying to communicate, when your fans are up and they're waving their towels, it really changes the game. I think they've done a fantastic job. Again, it's our job to give them something to cheer about."

"That's something that's been a focus of ours," Sean Lee said of winning at home. "We feel like the last couple of years we've been better on the road. At home, we had to find a way to win and be tough to beat. I think we've been good with that. When we do play at that level it's unbelievable, the support we have from our fans. The last couple of games have been extremely loud. The atmosphere has been fun. We have to keep that going."

I bet we could just about beat, or at least match, Seattle and KC 's decibel level if we get to the NFC Championship game....

Pretty awesome how well they've played at home. We're usually average at home and beastly on the road

AT&T Stadium is going to be rockin for the playoffs. I'm supposed to buy that Matt Ryan Matthew Stafford are suddenly going to become great playoff Quarterbacks and win on the road against us? I can see the argument for Eli because of his history but he's been terrible lately, Aaron Rodgers is capable of winning in Dallas but his defense stinks, Seattle is a mess. If they can come there and win they'll earn it. I don't not believe this is the same Cowboys of the past decade that choke in the playoffs.

It doesn't have the college atmosphere that Seattle or KC has, but the players definitely are way more comfortable at home than on the road which oddly wasn't the case in 2014.

I'll be doing my part next month. Flying down w my 11 year old son for the playoff game, it'll be his first ever Cowboys game. You better believe we'll be getting loud!

I guess Seattle's 12th man crap doesn't travel very well with them....

That's cool where in Virginia are you from? I lived in Lynchburg for a couple of years.

It seems that way, but to be fair to the '14 boys, the 4 home losses they had all unfortunately coincided with the health of Romo.

He wasn't ready for wk 1 v SF
He wasn't ready for the quick turnaround v Philly
And he obviously didn't even play v AZ.

The real egg we laid was against the Commanders, but it was a divisional game that Romo got hurt in, too.

I'm in the DC area, Woodbridge, VA. Haven't been to a game since the year the new stadium opened. I'm pretty excited to be bringing my kid for the first time, should be great

It's about time.

Commanders blitzed like crazy in that game and Romo looked like a rookie. He choked big time.
It happens to all QB's though.

Just my thought. If we would secretly pump crowd noise into the game. E erytime I see the hawks play at home the noise always sounds the same. In my head it is pumped in there
