One of the greatest players in the NFL’s history wrapped up a storybook ending to his career in Denver on Monday, and it’s got me thinking about the future of the Dallas Cowboys.
Apologies in advance to Peyton Manning. It feels somewhat disrespectful to turn the spotlight away from him on the day he officially retired. Even without his latest Super Bowl win, his career will go down as one of the greatest we’ll ever see.
But how can you not draw parallels between Manning’s tenure in Denver and the situation currently facing the Cowboys?
Wind the clock back to 2012.
