Former Cowboys fare well in Divisional round games
After Saturday’s games ended I was looking like the second coming of Jimmy The Greek.
Then came Sunday’s Divisional round playoff games. So, the good news is I’m 6-4 in the playoffs at least.
We’re not eating at a Michelin star restaurant with our winnings, but we’re not settling for McDonald’s either.
Two other pieces of good news: All four games were competitive for the most part – aside from the second half of the Texans-Ravens game.
And thanks to the Chiefs, the Cowboys aren’t the only team to lose at home in the playoffs this year.
Hey, we take our victories where we can find them on Monday mornings around here.
A couple of former Cowboys had a much better Divisional round weekend.
The MVP Showed Up
There’s been a lot of talk about how Dak Prescott should be the MVP over Lamar Jackson.
Jackson put that talk to rest, along with the Houston Texans on Saturday. The Texans have a solid defense, but he tore it apart in the second half.
He won his Divisional round game and will be playing in a conference championship game.
That is what an MVP quarterback looks like.
Why Couldn’t They Both Lose?
Yeah, it was a tough call deciding on who to root for in Saturday’s other contest, wasn’t it?
On one hand, the only team Cowboys Nation hates more than the San Francisco 49ers is the Philadelphia Eagles.
On the other hand, the Green Bay Packers knocked Dallas out of the playoffs. And somebody had to win.
At least it was a competitive game and the Packers nearly pulled off the upset.
By the way, in 2018 the Cowboys signed an undrafted free agent defensive back. Before the end of preseason that year, they traded him to the Chiefs for offensive guard Parker Ehinger.
They waived Ehinger the following April and he is no longer in the NFL.
That defensive back? Charvarius Ward.
