In our last post about the play of the Dallas Cowboys safeties, we examined the efforts of J.J. Wilcox and Byron Jones in overcoming the loss of Morris Claiborne. With only two cornerbacks able to play, all four Dallas safeties stepped up their game and kept the considerable passing abilities of Aaron Rodgers largely at bay. One of the things we discussed was the underneath coverage where athletic Cowboys defensive backs trail their receiver and dare the quarterback to drop a perfect throw over them.
Aaron Rodgers, as he has been known to do, did.
