Will the Dallas Cowboys lose back-to-back games?
Last weekend, the Denver Broncos put together a perfect game plan against the red-hot Dallas Cowboys. Denver controlled the time of possession and kept the talented Cowboys’ offense on the sidelines. The Broncos’ held the football for 41 minutes and 12 seconds, and the Cowboys only held the football for 18 minutes and 48 seconds.
If the Falcons want to knock off the Dallas Cowboys and hand them back-to-back losses, they must control the time of possession.
