Offense
-Didn’t feel Dak had one of his best games, but he had some terrific moments: pass to Cooks before the half and the Ferguson throw against the zero blitz come to mind. Did have some accuracy issues throughout the night, but still played high level football.
-Thought the run game looked the best as it did all year, they made the Eagles pay playing two safeties back. Looked like they split the carries.
-Excellent replay challenge by MM at the goal line that avoided a 4th down play.
-Steele had a nice bounce back game, not perfect, but far better. OL was terrific against an excellent front.
-Cowboy Offense still had major penalty issues, that will cost them win’s if they continue.
-Welcome back Michael Gallup! TD, long reception, drew a PI, was his best game in over a month.
-Red Zone offense was much better then in the first matchup.
Defense
-Gilmore clearly was the #1 star of the night. Think Quinn found something matching him up against the bigger/slower receiver and have Bland deal with the speed guys.
-Excellent job creating multiple turnovers deep in their end three times, that won them the game.
-Thought the run defense was solid before the game got out of hand, worried about the loss of Hankins. This is why you draft Mazi, time for him to step up!
-DLaw had another great performance, no he isn’t getting sacks, but he is affecting plays, especially at key points in a game.
-Didn’t hear Bland nor Lewis name all game, which is a good thing!
-Crazy sack by Parsons being double teamed. He has to watch how the Eagles lineman draw penalties with their acting jobs!
-Giving up just 6 points to one of the best offenses in the league to quite an accomplishment, especially after how they looked against Seattle.
Special Teams
-Audrey might be the best kicker in football! Give Bones Fassell credit for finding this gem! Hit multiple long FG’s that could of given the Eagles great field position. Clearly MM is very confident in his leg.
MM deserves credit, 3 back to back seasons of double digit wins, something Garrett never could accomplish. Yes, the #1 seed and most likely the division are probably unattainable, but the most important thing is to stay healthy and being playing your best football when the playoff begin.
