Jared Cook: Aaron Rodgers ‘made it easy for me’
Prescott hit Dez Bryant with just over four minutes left to play to bring the score to 26-28, and Prescott ran it in himself for the first two-point conversion the Cowboys completed all season to tie the game up.
Going into Sunday’s game, she said she was confident “that we would win”, she said. Who knows if we can pinpoint the fact this team took two weeks off from real competition, but they weren’t themselves early in the game.
Without Nelson, Rodgers will rely more heavily on Randall Cobb, Davante Adams and Ty Montgomery.
– Dak Prescott tried to negotiate the length of his second meeting with reporters in less than 24 hours after experiencing the pain of a last-play loss in the National Football League playoffs for the first time.
Note: Morgan Burnett (quad) would do “everything he can” to play against the Falcons, McCarthy said.
“We are going to keep fighting”. The Giants were a wild card team in 2007. Rollins hasn’t played at all in the postseason after getting hurt in Detroit in Week 17.
Dallas head coach Jason Garrett was no less impressed with his record-breaking rookie passer.
The rest is history following Cook’s last second heart pounding catch. We had a bye after Week 3 and boy, we needed it.
“That’s just the adversity we have dealt with the whole season”, said Burnett’s backup, Micah Hyde, who made a fantastic read-and-react interception in the third quarter.
Fourth down: The book on Aaron Rodgers has been that if you can’t sack him, you’re better off trying to contain him in the pocket than rush all out and open scrambling lanes.
The Packers beat the Cowboys, 34-31, in a thrilling postseason game Sunday, and the play that has everyone buzzing was the throw Aaron Rodgers made to Jared Cook that set up the game-winning field goal. So Rodgers would have had to throw to the sidelines, and Dallas could have defended against that.
And the sideline dart to Cook was “prime time”.
“Dak and Zeke had phenomenal seasons”, Rodgers said. The orchestration, the protection call, the route concept, great job with it. We’re in great position right now. He has thrown 22 touchdowns against zero picks since Week 10.
With 12 seconds left in the game and Green Bay facing third-and-20 from its 32-yard line, Rodgers wheeled left, and his band of interesting receivers headed downfield to JerryWorld’s west end. Rodgers – and kicker Mason Crosby – had the last laugh, but Prescott quieted any remaining crowd that was hinting Romo could start again someday in Big D. “I’m happy to be here”.
But it was a pretty fun flight back home.
Dallas’s consistency has come from making sound decisions and playing as a team rather then relying on any specific player.
It was like Reggie Miller’s eight points in the last 18 seconds in the National Basketball Association playoffs years ago – but if Miller played for both teams.
At least if you have one you can trust.
