Few franchises boast a more fervent fan-base than that of the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys fans are everywhere — after all, they are ‘America’s Team’. As such, Cowboys teams typically become a bit over-hyped due to the extreme amount of coverage the team receives.

2016 was no different. The Cowboys tied for the most wins in a single season in franchise history (13), and were led by two stud rookies in Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. Prescott quickly became the most overrated QB in all of football, even though the team’s former quarterback (Tony Romo) was far superior. Dallas unraveled in the playoffs, bowing out in their first game to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.
