FRISCO – Want to see a magic trick? Watch me get four full months of Dallas Cowboys and NFL football — all the triumphs and tragedies, the celebration and despair, and all the wins and losses — gone!
And guess what, after all the blood, sweat and tears, the experts rank your cowboys? Right where we placed almost everyone four months ago. Here is the PFN counter with their comments…
6) Dallas Cowboys – Dak Prescott played incredibly well (22-20 loss to Dolphins) The Cowboys’ stuttering defense failed on the Dolphins’ final drive, leading to a tough Cowboys loss. 5) Philadelphia Eagles – Scoring 33 points against the Giants on Christmas Day (a close win) was a start, but the Eagles defense still gave up 25 to a Giants team that benched their quarterback (Tommy DeVito) halfway through the game.
4) Buffalo Bills – The NFL is a funny place. If there’s one roster the division winners (unless Buffalo wins the AFC East) don’t want to face in the Wild Card round, it’s the Bills. 3) Miami Dolphins – We don’t often see the two best teams in the league (Miami and Dallas) face off. It’s even rarer to see two of the league’s most talented teams play a game that lives up to the hype, even if it’s not exactly how we envisioned it.
2) San Francisco 49ers – The 49ers will have a hard time moving up to #2 after Monday night’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens. After all, the Ravens were the second-ranked team in our Week 16 — no shame in dropping a game to a talented club like Baltimore. 1) Baltimore Ravens – the Ravens-49ers game on Christmas Eve was supposed to be a Super Bowl preview, but the matchup didn’t quite live up to the hype. Lamar Jackson boosted his MVP chances by averaging 7.2 yards per pass attempt, throwing for two touchdowns and adding 45 yards on the ground. Purdy’s fall on the other side of the court didn’t hurt Lamar’s chances either.
can you see During this time, and what and#039; changed? Ravensand#039; a win in San Francisco creates change. And the absence of the Chiefs (now 9-6 after a shock loss to the division-leading Raiders) is notable. But mostly, especially in the NFC? There’s the Niners, then the Eagles, then the Cowboys — just like always.
