Three former Oklahoma State football players will play in the 2019 NFL playoffs.
Tight end Blake Jarwin and the No. 4-seeded Dallas Cowboys will host the No. 5-seeded Seattle Seahawks and running back Chris Carson and cornerback Tre Flowers in the wild-card round.
Kickoff is slated for 7:15 p.m. Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Dallas (10-6) is coming off a 36-35 win over the Giants to finish the regular season on a 7-1 run. Jarwin, a former OSU walk-on, had a career-day with seven receptions for 119 yards and three touchdowns in the Cowboys’ win.
Carson ran for 122 yards against Arizona last week for his third-consecutive 100-yard rushing game. He finished the regular season with 1,151 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground. Flowers recorded three tackles in the game to push his rookie season total to 67.
It won’t be the first game this season between the two teams as the Seahawks flew by the Cowboys 24-13 in Week 3 at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. Carson ran for 102 yards and one touchdown on 32 carries and had 22 receiving yards on two catches, while Flowers had one pass defended. Jarwin was targeted once in the loss.
The winner of Saturday’s game will have to wait until the other NFC wild-card game between the No. 3 Bears and No. 6 Eagles is played Sunday in Chicago. If the Bears win, the Cowboys-Seahawks winner will head to New Orleans next week to face the top-ranked Saints. A win by the Eagles would send the Cowboys-Seahawks winner to Los Angeles to play the Rams.
