Cowboys Reveal ‘Permanent Captains for Playoffs – With One Surprise.
Over his four seasons here, Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has made it a routine to name a different team captain for each game day—a move
we’ve always thought to be a creative method to “teach leadership.” Disseminate the focus. Distribute the accountability.
However, as the Cowboys prepare to play in the playoffs here at AT&T Stadium against the visiting Green Bay Packers?
A smart move on McCarthy’s part.
The quality of play needs to improve. Thus, it is suggested that the “true captains” follow suit.
To wit, the discovery that permanent captains will be used for this game as well as every other one in the postseason—yes, that is the Super Bowl-inspired strategy.
Thus, throughout the duration of the playoffs, you have your appointed “permanent captains” as well as your highlighted leaders:
MVP candidate Dak Prescott at quarterback and All-Pro guard Zack Martin at guard lead the attack. Stephon Gilmore, the cornerback, and DeMarcus
Lawrence make up the defense. And special teams manager? It could come as a surprise because punter Bryan Anger and rookie kicker Brandon
Aubrey were both selected as All-Pros this season.
The Cowboys are 12-5 and 8-0 at home, with 16 straight victories at AT&T Stadium dating back to September 2022.
The Packers enter the game at 9-8. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. CT, and from here at the stadium, CowboysSI.com has you covered!
