Again within the day, Tony Dungy was not solely top-of-the-line coaches within the NFL but in addition probably the most revered coaches and leaders.
He took a Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise that spent its first 20 years as a laughingstock and helped make it right into a winner by constructing a tradition there, then he took an Indianapolis Colts workforce that has been perennial bridesmaids and led them to a Tremendous Bowl championship.
Lately, Dungy makes a residing as an analyst for NBC’s “Soccer Night time In America,” and he feels the San Francisco 49ers could have a straightforward time with the Dallas Cowboys within the NFC Divisional playoff spherical this weekend.
He didn’t level to any particular matchup or facet of the sport, nonetheless.
Slightly, Dungy identified a quirk within the scheduling that favors San Francisco – it performed its Wild Card sport on Saturday, whereas Dallas performed on Monday.
Pretty much as good because the Cowboys regarded tonight I feel they’ve little or no probability in opposition to the 49ers subsequent week and it’s not their fault. There are only a few examples EVER of groups profitable Monday night time street sport then Sunday street sport. Now give SF ( an ideal workforce) an additional day of relaxation.

Soccer is a violent, grueling sport, and it’s particularly grueling and violent when a workforce has to go up in opposition to the 49ers’ bodily and dominant protection.
When a workforce has had much less relaxation than the 49ers, it’s a recipe for failure.
On paper, this is able to look to be a aggressive matchup, because the Cowboys have a strong quarterback in Dak Prescott, two productive operating backs, a Professional Bowl huge receiver in CeeDee Lamb, and a number of Professional Bowlers on protection.
However relaxation and preparation time matter within the playoffs, and mixed with the truth that this contest might be performed at Levi’s Stadium, Dallas’ diminished relaxation and preparation time means it faces an uphill climb.
