Dallas Cowboys figuring it out at perfect time
|(CNN)Two-time Super Bowl champion and CNN Sport contributor Hines Ward talks about his experiences from his 14 years in the NFL as well as providing other football observations. He was speaking to CNN’s Perry Kostidakis.
In the 2005 season, we lost three straight heading into December, then won four in a row to end the season before winning another four on the way to a Super Bowl championship.
How’d we do it? We leaned on our veterans. Jerome Bettis, heading into the season, figured it might be his last ride, and we felt obligated to him to turn things around. We weren’t exactly playing our best football, and we knew that it started with us. Since our playoffs basically had already started, we had to take each game at a time.
