For Cowboys, lessons can be learned from recent past
FRISCO, Texas -- It doesn’t seem so long ago, does it?
On Jan. 11, 2015, at Lambeau Field, it finally looked as if the Dallas Cowboys were going to do something the franchise had not accomplished since Jan. 14, 1996, by reaching the NFC Championship Game.
Tony Romo’s daring fourth-down pass to Dez Bryant to the Green Bay Packers' 1-yard line would set up the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Yes, the Dallas defense would have had to stop Aaron Rodgers’ comeback chance, but the unit had made plays all season in the Cowboys' 12-4 finish.
Jason Witten caught six passes for 71 yards that day. DeMarco Murray ran for 123 yards and a touchdown.
