Dak's two playoff losses:
Green Bay had four TD drives of 75 yards or more, and we know what happened after Dallas tied it with 35 seconds left. The Rams rushed for 273 yards.
Garbage defense in both games. The Cowboys scored 31 points and 22 points in those games. The opponents scored 34 and 30.
The Cowboys have never won a playoff game when the opponent scores 30+. Every QB we've ever had is winless in such games.
GB was allowing over 400 yards a game with their third string CBS off the street going into the playoffs and Dallas was playing at home. The WR that everybody scapegoated the next year for Dak’s struggles went buck wild and had 9 REC for 132 yards. Zeke rushed for 22 attempts and 125 yards.
Dak got lucky in the third after throwing an INT in the third quarter in the red zone after Zeke dominated that drive, including running for 22 yards. Then our defense got an INT off Rodgers to bail out Dak’s INT.
Dan Bailey hit a 52 yarder to put the Cowboys up.
Not sure how you can blame the defense.
This was a 13-3 team against garbage that got completely blown out by the Falcons the next week.
