IRVING, Texas – The keys to this game no doubt change a little bit with Tony Romo back in the lineup. So let’s break down the big points that I think need to happen for each team to win this game.
Cowboys Win If:
The Dolphins are one of the worst offenses in the league when it comes to converting on third down -- no matter the distance. For them to win this game, they are going to have to make it like a CFL game and convert first downs in two downs.
Where the Dolphins struggle in this area is with their quarterback, Ryan Tannehill. His biggest issue is when the game gets to third down – he doesn’t play fast, and when that happens he makes mistakes. For as athletic as Tannehill is, he likes to sit in the middle of the pocket and attempt to throw the ball from there instead of trying to buy more chances with his legs. There have been plenty of snaps where things are breaking down around him, but he will hold the ball -- either taking a sack or forcing it into coverage.
