Passing on 1st Down

[percyhoward]

Going into this game, Dallas had passed on 1st down 43% of the time, and run 57% of the time.

Tonight on its first 25 1st-down plays, Dallas passed 17 times, and ran 8 times.

The Cowboys converted on 14 of the 17 down series on which they passed, and 4 of the 8 when they ran on 1st down.

I said this in the postgame thread but I hope they continue to do this. If teams are going to load up the box and give you advantageous matchups on the outside throw it.
