DeMarcus Lawrence is officially headed to the Super Bowl. The Seattle Seahawks won a thriller of an NFC Championship Game on Sunday evening and will officially meet the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX two weeks from now. It is a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX and if this one is anything like that one we are in for some fireworks.
Super Bowl XLIX culminated the 2014 NFL season and exists to many Dallas Cowboys fans as a game that the team should have been playing in. Dallas had an incredible season that year, Dez caught it at Lambeau Field, and the Cowboys were denied a chance to visit the Seahawks in that title game which was all the more interesting because Dallas’ best win of the regular season came at Seattle.
The best win of that Cowboys season overall was in the Wild Card Round against the Detroit Lions. Like a lot of playoff games that one went down to the wire and ended when then-rookie DeMarcus Lawrence sacked Matthew Stafford, the Lions quarterback at the time.
Lawrence and Stafford met in this season’s title game and the former’s team came out on top. This season marks Tank’s first away from the Cowboys and now he has a chance to do something he effectively declared to do when he signed with them – win it all.
Lawrence upset a lot of Cowboys fans in his initial comments after signing with Seattle as he noted that Dallas would always be his home, but that he knew he would never win a Super Bowl there. Whether or not he knew the script, or just had an immense amount of confidence, right now he looks absolutely correct while the Cowboys sit at home.
