Lost in the glitz of the historic comeback and the glamour of another Cowboys’ epic collapse was the actual hero. I have seen the pick that Sam Shields made (watch it here) on Sunday afternoon about seven or eight times. And each time I rewind and play it again on my DVR, I still cannot…
Most people are looking at Sunday’s game with the Cowboys as a potential mismatch. A Dallas team with a lot of offensive weaponry vs. a Green Bay team that has been struggling to find its way with a backup quarterback. And most people are saying that only way the Packers beat the Cowboys is if…
