Cowboys-49ers playoff preview, our predictions, Ezekiel Elliott’s cloudy future

Beat writers Calvin Watkins and Michael Gehlken [1:53] begin this episode reviewing the Cowboys’ dominant win over the Buccaneers. Despite all of the positives, it seems everyone wants to talk about kicker Brett Maher and the four straight missed extra points. [7:30] The guys also discuss the physicality needed for the matchup with the 49ers, Dak Prescott’s dramatic improvement from Week 18 to the playoffs, and more changes along the offensive line. In our featured segment, [18:45] Calvin and Michael interview Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, who breaks down the 49ers for Cowboys fans and answers Calvin’s No. 1 question: Who the heck is Brock Purdy? To close the episode, [39:25] Calvin and Michael discuss running back Ezekiel Elliott’s future with the Cowboys. Michael says there is zero chance Dallas brings back Elliott under his current contract. Calvin agrees and wonders if this could be Elliott’s last game in a Cowboys uniform.
