The Seahawks travel to Dallas on Saturday in the opening round of the playoffs. To find out more about the Cowboys, I asked Steven Mullenax of the Landry Hat five questions.

The Seahawks have had quite a bit of recent success against the Cowboys. Seattle has won their last three against Dallas. Of course, all that success has not happened in the playoffs. Plus, Seattle is a different team than in previous years. And so is Dallas.

In fact, these two teams are even different from the ones that met in week three of the 2018 season. The Cowboys have acquired receiver Amari Cooper and the Seahawks have found a way to run consistently well.

To learn more about how the Cowboys have turned their season around and gone 7-1 in their last eight games but to also see how Seattle and Dallas might play out, I asked Steven Mullenax of FanSided’s Cowboys blog, The Landry Hat, five questions about the Cowboys.

How has Dallas been so far in the second half of 2018?

12th Man Rising: The Cowboys, like the Seahawks, have turned their season around since midway through the year. What are the biggest differences between the team now and the team through the first half of the year?

Steven Mullenax: Wide receiver Amari Cooper would be the obvious answer. His presence on the offense has opened up the passing game as well as helped the run. Another area the team has improved is along their offensive line. The firing of Paul Alexander as the Cowboys O-Line coach was key to getting this once elite group back on track.
