This is exactly how you wanted the Dallas Cowboys to rebound after a 10-7 loss to the New York Giants.

Calm. Cool. Collected. And the offense at its best in terms of execution.

Dallas Cowboys 26, Tampa Bay Bucs 20.

And while the New York loss was a much-needed wake up call, the Cowboys have moved their needle to 12 wins for the year with a whole lot of football left to fight for.

In their definitive 12th win, America’s Team showed the world how this squad can bounce back from criticism and blueprints designed to stop the offense.

Dallas conquered a team on a hot streak of their own, who are fighting for a path towards a playoff berth and maybe more. The Cowboys put an end to that hot streak.

Last Sunday night wasn’t a perfect night, but the Cowboys showed some brilliance and, in my opinion, carved out a blueprint of their own that will lead them to Houston.

Next stop, Super Bowl 51! Here are five reasons why the Dallas Cowboys will make it to the Super Bowl.

Enjoy the list.
