It is no secret at all that the Dallas Cowboys have had very little playoff success in over two decades, so it’s understandable that even in a season where qualifying for the playoffs was merely the first goal, expecting this team to go further has fans nervous for Super Wild Card weekend. All that stands in the way of the Cowboys and the divisional round is a road game against a team that’s beaten them two seasons in a row, led by the greatest quarterback of all time with an undefeated head-to-head record against them.
As is the case with any regular season game, there isn’t one set path to winning in the playoffs, something the Cowboys have been learning the hard way since their last Super Bowl appearance in 1996.
