The Dallas Cowboys did enough to win at home in the Wild Card round, but they need these three players to be better if they want to win against the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round
In the Wild Card Round, the Dallas Cowboys were able to dig deep and find a way to get a win against a very tough Seattle Seahawks team. Entering the game, there was no telling which team would come out on top — especially considering how much they mirrored one another.
Each club is led by a mobile quarterback but their game plan leads to them running the ball more than they pass. They also rely heavily on a strong defense — and the Cowboys even have Kris Richard coaching their secondary after spending the last nine seasons in Seattle.
That made it unsurprising that the game came down to the fourth quarter. And with Seattle leading late, Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott took over. Zeke ripped off a couple of nice runs and even put in the go-ahead touchdown that made it 17-14. after that, Prescott ran a 16-yard gain on third-and-14 to set up his own one-yard touchdown.
Dak’s touchdown was huge because a field makes their lead just six, whereas the touchdown put the game away. There was a little drama still to be had, but Dallas held on and heads to the next round to play the Los Angeles Rams. Looking ahead to that game, the Boys have their hands full and will need all hands on deck to come away with a win.
Here we will look at three guys who were rather quiet in their last win as players who Dallas will need more from if they want to score the upset in Southern California.
