Last week, I sat back and watched the San Francisco 49ers run all over the Green Bay Packers in route to a 37-20 victory. Frustration poured over me as they punched their ticket to Super Bowl LIV. I wasn’t so much angry at the end result as I was to how it all unfolded. This was supposed to be the Dallas Cowboys‘ formula for winning.
In a pass-heavy league, the 49ers have found success doing what the Cowboys were supposed to do — running the ball. Jimmy Garoppolo threw just eight passes all game, only two in the second half.
