The Dallas Cowboys trounced the Denver Broncos in last week’s Madden simulation. That was not what happened with the teams actually lined up against one another that Sunday. Why do I bring this up on an article about the Cowboys/Falcons sim? Because I really hope the sim is wrong again.
Simulation result: Falcons 35 - Cowboys 28

Behind Cordarelle Patterson and Mike Davis, the Falcons had a field day on the ground. Patterson, in particular, averaged close to seven yards per carry and was a menace in the open field, which the Falcon offensive line gave him safe passage to routinely.
