Down 19-12 with five seconds left in the fourth quarter and 70+ yards away from a score, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy set the offense up for a Hail Mary by placing running back Ezekiel Elliott as the sole offensive lineman, setting him up at center.

The Memphis product rushed for a career-high 1,007 yards in 2022.
In the aftermath of a heartbreaking 19–12 loss to the 49ers in an NFC divisional round game, things went from bad to worse for the Cowboys.
Dallas running back Tony Pollard suffered a fractured left fibula in the loss and will undergo surgery, according to a Sunday night report from Todd Archer of ESPN. Archer noted that the injury typically “[requires] a three-month recovery.”
Pollard was held to just 22 yards on six carries due to his injury, and left the game with 1:24 left in the first half.

Dallas has looked good enough to win a Super Bowl at some point during the Dak Prescott era, but it now seems further away than before Mike McCarthy arrived.
We were planning on pinning this on the kicker, the poor man with the quiet eyes who spent the entire day being followed around by a network camera like he was hosting an art installation on internal tumult.
We were planning on pinning this on the quarterback, too.

SANTA CLARA — If you didn’t know better, you’d think Dak Prescott was the unheralded rookie in this game.
And now we all must wonder where this leaves the Dallas Cowboys in their never-ending chase of a title in the post-Jimmy Johnson (sorry, Barry Switzer just doesn’t get credit) world. With octogenarian owner Jerry Jones getting more desperate each year to prove that he is truly a great football mind and not just a latter day P.T.
