There’s a narrative in the Dallas Cowboys’ heads that they can’t beat teams with winning records, they can’t win close games against good teams, and Dak Prescott can’t light up the scoreboard in matchups was flowingElite defense facesBut all three charges were thrown into the grave Thursday night
His brave and hard-fought 41-35 victory over the Seattle Seahawks sends a message to everyone
“After the game, I told the team we needed a game like this,” head coach Mike McCarthy said from the sideline, announcing the impressive offensive game
“This is what football looks like in December, and you know, we all know what lies ahead
Because we have to win in close games“You have to win games like this to get where you want to go And it was a great example of just being patient and playing
We were frustrated at halftime” It wasn’t a perfect effort by the Cowboys, but considering the number of extended drives they committed against Geno Smith, it contributed to a long day of defense before the day fell into their hands
The very defense went from screaming to staticWith the Cowboys leading 38-35, Prescott wanted his defense to know it was their turn to make a key stop
“Turn up the effects,” Prescott yelled, Parsons recalled
“You’re all screwed up, stop now‘It’s your turn‘” Parsons was excited by the enthusiasm emanating from the Dallas team’s leaders
“Damn, I kind of blushed,” Parsons added“That’s my quarterback It’s always exciting, that energy, that fire that he brings
He has a different paceThat’s the type of quarterback that can win a Super Bowl

The story this season is that Dallas has yet to beat a “good” team
Sure, they beat Seattle 35-41, their first win against a team above
500, but is it still fair to call the Cowboys elite
Recently with Sports Seriously Emmitt Smith didn’t hold back when asked if he thought the Cowboys should be on the same page as the Eagles and 49ers
“I think they can do it – and they have the ability to do it
They’ve grown over the last four or five weeks and are showing signs of developing the mental fortitude that it takes to make the playoffs
And it’s obvious how we finish the rest of the season, how strong and mentally sharp we really are,” Smith said
“Playoffs” – These two words always bring Cowboys fans back to reality
Last season, the ‘Boys’ were 6-2 after the first eight games
In 2021, it was 6-2 in the first half
Both seasons ended with embarrassing losses to the San Francisco 49ers in the first round of the playoffs
Now it looks like Dallas has once again clinched the No
5 seed, and no thanks to the Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia is 10-1, but Smith doesn’t think Dallas is that bad
