On Sunday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboys will face the San Francisco 49ers and renew a classic playoff rivalry. The Cowboys have gotten the better of the 49ers in the post season, winning 5 out of 7 matchups but it was San Francisco who won the last battle more than 25 years ago. Interestingly enough, this will be the first time the two teams will play in a wild card playoff…
The official list of Dallas Cowboys sack leaders has always been flawed by the known fact that the NFL did not record sacks as an official statistic until 1982. As a result, one NFL record has always had somewhat of an asterisk attached to it and that is the single season sack record. The official title holder is Michael Strahan with 22.5 sacks recorded in 2001 but longtime Cowboys fans…

Not just two random players, but two former 1st round draft picks and Pro Bowlers and both of them…
There is offense, there is defense, and then there is special teams. While it’s impact on the game of football is often trivialized, countless times the outcome of games, division titles, and even championships are decided within that phase of the game. A last second field goal, a blocked punt, a big return, and even simply gaining the advantage in field position are among the little things that make a…
