While individual accolades are a nice add-on, for most NFL players, it doesn’t matter if their team doesn’t win the Super Bowl.
Their path hasn’t been easy, but the Cowboys finally feel like a Super Bowl-contending team.
They were ridiculed in the offseason for their early playoff exit and were not given great odds to take home the title.
