00:00 The road to the Super Bowl starts now for the Dallas Cowboys.
00:03 Is this the Cowboys best chance to get back to the Super Bowl for the first time in nearly
00:08 30 years?
00:09 It's been a long time and of course when you're a spoiled Cowboy fan, I hate when I say that,
00:14 but when you're a spoiled Cowboy fan, you're very highly aware of that drought.
00:20 You're not aware that there's other teams.
00:21 You know, there's other teams that don't go to the Super Bowl every year too.
00:24 But I appreciate the pain of Cowboys fans.
00:27 It certainly is in terms of the path.
00:32 The path is more clear than it's been in a long time because if you get your job done,
00:37 home game, favored by 7 over Green Bay, home game the next week, probably be favored by
00:42 6 or whatever or so the next week.
00:45 And we know how good the Cowboys are at home this year.
00:47 16-0 going into the playoffs.
00:50 And then...
00:51 Franchise record in points scored at ATTC.
00:53 Almost 300 points.
00:54 For whatever reason it is, the Cowboys would be smart to not over-examine this.
01:00 Don't over-analyze it.
01:02 Just bask in it.
01:03 Because there isn't a reason.
01:06 Dan Campbell, the Lions coach, was talking before that game about how he was asked, "What
01:11 is it about..."
01:12 And he tried to come up with, "Well, the stadiums..."
01:14 And in the end, there isn't a reason.
01:17 The fan base is great, but it's not better than necessarily.
01:20 It's not louder than or more rabid than or more...
01:25 It just happened.
01:26 And the Cowboys would be really wise to not wonder why.
01:30 Just go assume the best and do what you do.
01:34 One thing that is notable about the Super Bowl path, though, and as you know, I was
01:39 there '92, '93, etc.
01:42 They didn't know they were good.
01:44 The '92 team didn't know they were that good.
01:47 They had almost made the playoffs in '91, in Jimmy Johnson's second year, which was
01:53 amazing.
01:54 They did make the playoffs after that.
01:56 And then in '92, they thought they were good, but they were babies, relatively speaking.
02:00 So not until they were great did they go, "Wow, we're great!"
02:07 And that can happen with this team.
02:09 Now the path, of course, quite likely ends up at San Francisco in the NFC Championship
02:15 game.
02:16 But yes, Dallas Cowboys are a clear favorite to go to the NFC Championship game, and that
02:21 is a something.
