The NFL's divisional round has arrived, and the Dallas Cowboys find themselves in search of a new head coach, failing to advance past this round for three consecutive decades. The team has engaged in talks with notable candidates, including Deion Sanders and Robert Saleh, but their late search raises concerns. Despite their tight salary cap and questions about veteran players like Zack Martin, the presence of stars such as Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons positions Dallas as an appealing job opportunity.
Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders have transformed into an electrifying team under new leadership, reminiscent of the "Kardiac Kids" of the 1980s. Thanks to their clutch performances on third and fourth downs, highlighted by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, they have made a surprising playoff run. However, their struggles on early downs could be a potential setback as they head into a challenging matchup against the Detroit Lions.
In the MVP race, quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are poised for a defining moment, both showcasing remarkable skills and leadership. Their matchup in the playoffs is highly anticipated, with expectations that either could lead their team to the Super Bowl. Conversely, the Houston Texans have entered the playoffs after a dominant win over the Chargers, but questions linger about their offensive capabilities, despite a strong defense led by stars like Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr.
