It’s hard to imagine two more different performances a team could put up in back-to-back weeks than what the Dallas Cowboys did in Weeks 10 and 11. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys limped out of Lambeau Field having blown a 14-point fourth-quarter lead to the floundering Green Bay Packers, then posted the largest road victory […]

It’s hard to find the right player comparison for Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons, thanks to the unique abilities he brings to the table.

The Atlanta Falcons were viewed as a darkhorse Super Bowl contender by many going into this season, including myself.
