The Cowboys once again stumbled during the NFC divisional round games on Sunday. This is the third time Dak Prescott suffered a humiliating playoff defeat in his career, especially against the 49ers. They also slayed them in the wild-card round last season. The entire fanbase started criticizing the quarterback for his failure, and an old video of former NFL running back LeSean McCoy is now taking rounds of the internet.
