Former Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson has gone off on his former team.

The Fox Sports analyst embarked on a furious halftime rant after watching Dallas slip to a 27-7 deficit after two abysmal quarters in their NFC Wild Card playoff clash with Green Bay.

After decades of playoff disappointment, there were high hopes America’s Team were finally ready to mount a serious Super Bowl challenge.

Reacting to Dallas’ worst postseason deficit at home since the 1969 Divisional round against Cleveland, Johnson called on the Cowboys to “get after Jordan Love”.

The Packers quarterback was making his playoff debut but showed no signs of nerves in a imperious first-half display, throwing two touchdown passes.

Johnson said: “I’ll say this, every single one of ya… you know how hard we’ve worked [to get here].

“I don’t need people to be pointing the finger, you get your rear end in there and play the way you know you can play.

“We can win this game. We’re gonna open it up, we’re gonna go fast tempo.

“Defence get after Jordan Love! You can’t give him that much time!

“You do what you’re supposed to do and we’ll win this game.”

Johnson’s motivational speech had the desired effect on his Fox Sports colleague Michael Strahan.

The former New York Giant pretended to tear off his jacket and line up on an imaginary line of scrimmage, much to the amusement of his fellow Fox analysts.

Cowboys need to get Jimmy Johnson in their locker room immediately,” said one Dallas fan account on X.
