Sam Hilliard, acquired by the Atlanta Braves in the 2022 off-season, made a significant early-season impact in 2023. Displaying defensive prowess and impressive offensive stats, Hilliard excelled in April with a .296/.367/.904 slash line, three home runs, and six RBIs in 19 games. Despite his contributions, he struggled to gain regular playing time under manager Brian Snitker. Hilliard’s season took a downturn after an injury on July 18, leading to a limited role and a waiver by the Braves in the offseason. The Baltimore Orioles claimed him, and Braves Country wishes Hilliard success with his new team.

The Dallas Cowboys experienced a challenging Christmas Eve clash with the Miami Dolphins, showing more resilience than in previous losses but ultimately falling short. Analyzing the game’s statistics reveals several key points.
Mike McDaniel, the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, has accomplished a remarkable feat by becoming the third coach in the franchise’s history to lead his team to the postseason in each of his first two seasons. The Dolphins celebrated this achievement with a thrilling 22-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Eve, securing their first 11-4 start since the 1990 season.
The Dallas Cowboys faced their second consecutive loss, falling to the Miami Dolphins with a 22-20 defeat in NFL Week 16. The outcome left observers with a sense of frustration about “America’s Team,” with coach Mike McCarthy acknowledging significant errors that proved costly in a closely contested game against a formidable opponent.
In games where the margin is narrow, the Cowboys encountered road challenges that led to their failure. Mistakes such as the Dak Prescott/Hunter Luepke fumbled exchange and untimely penalties, including Damone Clark’s face-mask penalty, contributed to the narrow loss. McCarthy emphasized the team’s resilience and grit but acknowledged the need to elevate their performance on the road, stating, “Road warriors we will be.”
Despite the positive outlook, concerns linger about the Cowboys’ struggles on the road, with self-inflicted wounds being a recurring theme. The “Texas Coast Offense” faced challenges, and while the defense showed improvement against the Dolphins, it fell short of making the crucial final stop. Crucial penalties once again left the Cowboys lamenting their defeat at Hard Rock Stadium.
McCarthy remains optimistic about the team’s ability to be “road warriors” in the postseason. However, addressing road challenges is crucial in the remaining regular-season games against the Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders. The Cowboys must rectify these issues to enter the playoffs with confidence and refute the notion that opponents’ laments of “it’s always something” should define their journey.
