Reaching the AFC championship really helped Allen.
Since Josh Allen was drafted -
Cowboys are 54-37 (https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/cowboys-record-since-2018)
Cowboys have 2 division titles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFC_East#Division_champions) With a 2-3 playoff record and never been passed the Divisional round (https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dal/playoffs.htm)
Bills are 58-33 (https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/bills-record-since-2018) - Bills have played one more game than the Cowboys Bills have 3 division titles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_East#Division_champions) With a 4-4 playoff record and one AFC Championship appearance (https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/playoffs.htm)
I honestly expected there to be more of a gap but that shows what media perception around the Cowboys does
It also hurts Dak's cause that he's playing for a team whose owner is on media tours every week. He's under a magnifying glass. You have a talking head at ESPN (one of the most 'important' in sports talk) who constantly bitches about the team AND they're labelled as 'America's Team.'
RGIII bein' awfully blind when he doesn't factor in a bunch of that ancillary stuff that signal boosts every mistake by Dak.
edit: words
Yeah, that's part of the job playing in Dallas.
It's like playing for the Yankees, you're going to get more attention and much of it will be negative.
Absolutely. Meanwhile, Josh Allen plays for a team whose most notable feature is their fans slamming each other through tables. No offense, Bills doods.
