Dak Prescott delivers monster night, helps end 34-year road playoff drought

“I didn't listen to anybody else's opinions, anybody else's thoughts,” Prescott said on ESPN after the game when asked about being consistently asked about the Cowboys' playoff woes. “I have a great supporting cast, a team that believes in me.”

Prescott helped Dallas earn its first road playoff victory since the 1992 NFC Championship Game. The last win was over the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park. The Cowboys lost eight straight road playoff games prior to Monday's victory.

The Cowboys' offensive game plan was solid all night long. This is the type of game I wish Dallas could have every week. I understand it can be hard to do that week in and week out, and things happen. Tonight was a great team win. (Outside of the kicking game).

For someone who has been money all year, Brett Maher became the first player since 1932 to miss four extra points in a single game. Doing so kept the Buccaneers within relative striking distance even with the visitors controlling the contest. Let's get that fixed before next week.

As the Cowboys now have their sights set on a red-hot 49ers team, this is the Prescott the Cowboys will need to reach their first conference title game in nearly 30 years.

Things won't come as easy for them as last night, but to win a playoff game against the goat has to make them feel good. Even more so because everyone wrote them off after last week.

If any of you would like to check out my post last week when I said RELAX, now you know why! This team hasn't lost two in a row all season for a reason. 

When this team is clicking like tonight they can beat anyone. Mistake free football. Outside of the Maher this was nearly a perfect night for the boys.    This was a team win first and foremost, but Prescott played probably the best game of his career when he needed it the most. What he did leading up to this game didn't even matter after it was final.    The Cowboys have a quick turnaround due to the dumb scheduling. The Cowboys will play Sunday evening against the 49ers who played on Saturday. It makes no sense as to why they did this. Nonetheless, Dallas will need to come into this game ready to stop the run and they will need another masterpiece from Prescott.     Tom Brady is now 0-1 against the Cowboys in the playoffs.
