Each NFL team has 46 active players on gameday, but fans and analysts typically focus on just a handful of players, examining their impact on the game. Star players are incredibly important to the outcome of each game, but so are the role players.
Professional football is a team game where 11 people work in unison toward one goal. One weak link can ruin the outcome for the entire unit, no matter the volume of star players.
While the Dallas Cowboys' star players such as Dak Prescott and DeMarcus Lawrence make large individual impacts on the game, the level of play of the role players is just as important -- especially in the playoffs.
