Welp, that sure didn’t take long.
After a season of magnificence, head coach Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys were supposed to be beyond this kind of thing, this flat playoff performance, rife with mistakes and poor decisions at the worst possible times. This Dallas team? It wasn't supposed to lose at home to the sixth-seeded San Francisco 49ers, a club that came into the game with a starting quarterback they’re continually working to jettison. Anything contrary was supposed to be left in the past, remembered only as a relic of the Jason Garrett era.
