FILE - In this Jan. 5, 2019, file photo, Dallas Cowboys' Tavon Austin (10) returns a punt for a long gain as Seattle Seahawks' Ed Dickson gives chase during an NFC wild-card NFL football game in Arlington, Texas. Austin’s fresh start with the Cowboys wasn’t much different than the stale final season the versatile receiver endured with the Los Angeles Rams. The difference is that Austin has a chance to change the feeling, against his former team no less, in the divisional round of the playoffs. The Cowboys traded for Austin during the draft, but he missed nine games after injuring a groin. (AP Photo/Ron Jenkins, File)

FILE - In this Nov. 6, 2018, file photo, U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, the 2018 Democratic Candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, makes his concession speech at his election night party in El Paso, Texas. During the Texas Senate race, some Democrats grumbled that O'Rourke wasn't softening his liberal positions enough to finish a near-upset of Ted Cruz. Now, as the one-time punk rocker mulls a 2020 White House run, some activists are suggesting he's not liberal enough. O’Rourke says he rejects party labels, but he may not be able to avoid being confined to an ideological lane forever. (AP Photo/Eric Gay, File)
