When you're already winning, you don't throw as much later in the game, so that gives you fewer attempts for the game. Romo actually had more 1st-half attempts in 2014 than he had averaged over his career.

JJT doesn't realize it, but his advice isn't "throw less," it's "have the lead more often." Even if you get that lead by throwing more, apparently.
Exactly, we got the lead, then ran it to control TOP and wear down their D.
Simple really: Get up early then run to control game
