This isn't basketball or baseball where you play 100+ games, so every game matters.
However, for the Cowboys, the regular season is a mere formality. By talent alone, they're a playoff team
The test for Dallas and Dak and Quinn and McCarthy and Micah will be the final game before the NFC Championship.
I praise Dak for how he plays in the regular season, but that's not my measuring stick for him.
My measuring stick is the playoffs and beating the Eagles and the 49ers when the game plan is stacked against him.
Does he have the wherewithal to play above himself and will this team to victory?
Will McCarthy call the perfect plays and the perfect game plan?
Will Micah be otherworldly in the game that puts us closer to the Super Bowl?
That's what and when I want answers to these questions - not necessarily the regular season.
