Mike McCarthy is trying to use the Cowboys’ road playoff drought as motivation
enter Wild Card weekend trying to break a crucial drought, as the team hasn’t won a road playoff game since January 17, 1993. In that game, Troy Aikman, Emmett Smith and Michael Irvin beat the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
Instead of shying away from that fact, Mike McCarthy is trying to use it as motivation. The Cowboys head coach requested baby pictures from every player on the team who was alive for that game, as only 10 players were born before the game took place. The oldest players on the team includes three of the five starting offensive lineman, newly signed wide receiver T.Y. Hilton and all three primary special teamers.
Since 1993, Dallas is 0-8 in road playoff games. Additionally, the Cowboys are 8-12 since that game in the playoffs overall, but just 4-12 in the postseason since their last Super Bowl title in 1996. The Cowboys enter Monday night’s game vs. Tampa Bay as the favorite, which puts even more pressure on them to finally pull off a road victory in January. A win would take a lot of pressure off the organization moving forward.
