Texas’ Team!’ Playoff Texans Troll Cowboys With Two-Word Tweet

Texas’s Frisco As the top seed in the NFC, Jerry Jones has seen his Dallas Cowboys lose their opening round playoff game

twice.

The general manager and owner of the team had to watch the Dez Bryant catch that didn’t happen in Green Bay, even though

Dallas looked good enough to make a deep run. The Packers won the divisional playoff game after that call.

Still, in the 28 years since the Cowboys last advanced to the NFC championship game, it’s difficult to imagine a postseason

setback more upsetting than Sunday’s 48-32 wild-card loss to Green Bay.

Jones remarked, “I don’t want to rank it,” outside the gloomy Dallas locker room. “But I will tell you this was beyond my

comprehension.”

The Cowboys (12-6) were on a 16-game winning streak at AT&T Stadium and might have hosted at least two home playoff

games. In order to smuggle themselves into the final NFC playoff berth, the Packers have to finish 6-2.

Four of the Cowboys’ seven Pro Bowl players were also selected for the All-Pro team. In the midst of Jordan Love’s playoff

debut, the inexperienced quarterback, and the Packers, were eliminated from the Pro Bowl.

The player who made the crucial interceptions, including a pick-6, was Dak Prescott. The absence of turnovers and sacks,

which are two things the Dallas defense loves, made them poorer than usual.

Even before the game was over — and somewhere around the times the Packers had leads of 27-0 and 48-16 — pundits were

already replacing coach Mike McCarthy.

There doesn’t figure to be any immediate news on that front from Jones. McCarthy was meeting with players in exit interviews

Monday and won’t talk to reporters until he’s finished with that.

There’s nothing unusual about that approach, but if the meeting with the media doesn’t come in the next couple of days, it will

begin to look like the previous time things were this uncertain with a Dallas coach.

After the 2019 season, Jason Garrett sat in limbo for a week with an expiring contract, and never did address reporters. The

Cowboys interviewed McCarthy before even acknowledging publicly that Garrett wouldn’t return.
