Dallas Cowboys

Tom Brady and the NFC South champion Buccaneers host the Cowboys, and will do so as 2.5 point underdogs. The contest marks the fourth time since 2019 that TB-12 ...

That was the worst ATS mark of Brady’s career, but TB-12 in the postseason is a different animal. That was the lowest of any of the 14 playoff teams, and ranked 26th in the league. Dallas meanwhile, is 3-10 ATS in the playoffs since 1998. Dallas started the year as one of the league’s premier defensive units. Tom Brady actually led the league in passing attempts, but his 6.4 average yards per attempt was a full yard lower than last season. For the bulk of the season, Tampa Bay has been a disappointment.

The Cowboys must shake off a disappointing performance in the season finale to get back on track in the Wild Card Round. The veteran has struggled with interceptions, and facing a ferocious blitz package from the Buccaneers could lead to a turnover-fest that results in an upset win in the Wild Card Round. Despite the offense's struggles, the big play potential of the Buccaneers' passing game with Chris Godwin and Mike Evans poses a challenge for any defense lacking high-end cornerbacks on the island.

They also have a secondary that intercepts passes and a run defense that performed surprisingly well against the Buccaneers -- the return of linebacker Leighton Vander-Esch certainly helped. They have a deep pass rush that features one of the best edge rushers in the NFL -- Micah Parsons -- although he doesn't match up well against Trent Williams. It's hard to beat the 49ers if you turn the ball over.

Talented quarterback. Great running game. Star No. 1 receiver. Top five defense with a superstar pass rusher. All green checks for the Dallas Cowboys.

He was cut in 2006, and never played in the NFL again. It’s the next game that is a concern. Former Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys kicker Mike Vanderjagt was one of the most accurate kickers from 1998 to 2005. It was a perfect time to trot out Maher to regain some confidence. However, it now appears that some people have the yips due to a neurological condition affecting specific muscles (focal dystonia).” The same thing happened to former Texas Rangers catching prospect Jarrod Saltalamacchia. However, the yips can also affect people who play other sports — such as cricket, darts and baseball.” Or, he’s in his head with a case of the yips. It’s in his head now. Maher missed his first four extra point attempts, an NFL record. He signed with the Cowboys in the offseason, but wasn’t the same. He’s come down with a terrible case of the yips at the worst moment possible for himself, and his team.

Brett Maher is making NFL history in all the wrong ways for the Dallas Cowboys. Could the team cut him this week?

The Cowboys had no problem being forgetful in their dominating victory over the Buccaneers.

No, he wasn't the difference in the game, but that was an example of how the Cowboys were able to change up the game plan when it mattered the most. Not only do the players love him, but a game like this, where he was able to keep Brady in check, will raise his stock even more. Last week, the Cowboys made Israel Mukuamu inactive against Washington, but this week he was the centerpiece of the nickel defense. He was pressuring Brady from all spots on the field, and he got his hands on the ball with a couple of key deflections near the goal line. I've said it several times this week – these current players and coaches have nothing to do with the Cowboys' lack of playoff success over the last three decades. And then came back to get the luggage and left his cell phone as well.

Brett Maher's uncharacteristically rough night was overshadowed by the Cowboys dominant performance in their win over the Buccaneers in the wild-card round.

"I feel very fortunate to have the teammates that I do," Maher said. "To be in the locker room and the coaching staff. "Hit some balls, have a great week of practice, get myself ready to go." "Just supportive," Maher said. "I am super happy for the team," Maher said. "In hindsight, I think yes," Maher said when asked if it was a case of overcorrecting on his third try.

Micah Parsons said the postseason is where legends are made, and the Cowboys just embarrassed one on his own field.

And then there was the rushing attack for the Bucs or, more accurately, their complete lack of one. Fact is, Brady and his stable of weapons were put in a deep freezer for much of the game, with most of his 351 yards and both of his two touchdowns occurring with the game well out of reach late in the contest. Brady's loss on Monday night was the first-ever against the Cowboys, organizationally speaking, and featured a shutout heading into halftime; and the 31-14 final score is misleading, in and of itself.

While the replay officials eventually changed the call to a catch and down-by-contact, there was a personal foul penalty on the Buccaneers on the negated return, which was still enforced. The Buccaneers had already called one timeout on the drive, hoping to get the ball back with a chance to score. Parsons' deflection on first down – The Buccaneers were driving early in the game and had a first down inside the Cowboys' 5-yard line. After a holding call on Schultz pushed Dallas back to first-and-goal at the 14, Pollard took the next play on an 8-yard run back to the 6. Prescott scrambles on another scoring drive – With the Cowboys leading, 12-0, late in the first half, the offense faced a third-and-6 at their own 44-yard line.
