Dallas Cowboys stud: Cedrick Wilson, WR

It was tough to watch Michael Gallup to a torn ACL in Week 17, especially when you consider how much time he already missed this season. However, they had to feel good about the player who was set to replace him as the No. 3 guy in Cedrick Wilson.

Throughout this season, Wilson has done nothing but answer the call when asked. He was especially effective in Week 18 as he hauled in five of six targets for 119 yards and two touchdowns.

He’s had a career year with 45 catches for 602 yards and six touchdowns. He’s been special all season and should be a huge factor in the playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys dud: Greg Zuerlein, K

All season, Greg Zuerlein has been shaky — at best. He started the year out with two missed field goals and a missed extra point against Tampa Bay in a two-point loss. He continued to perform inconsistently throughout the season and had six missed field goals and five missed extra points entering the game.

Then, he missed another extra point, making it six of each. It didn’t hurt them tonight but eventually, it feels like Greg the Leg is going to cost them a game with his struggles.

For whatever reason, the staff has stayed the course and there’s no reason they will change now. But he doesn’t enter the postseason with the best track record.
