The New England Patriots are certainly not taking the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys lightly. While the Brandon Weeden-led passing attack is obviously less potent than the Tony Romo version, the Dallas run game is good enough to win against any opponent, even if the defense knows that the Cowboys will be running the ball.
And teams will know.
With back-up quarterback Brandon Weeden at the helm, the Cowboys have really simplified their offense and it telegraphs the play.
When Weeden is playing in the shotgun (meaning he's a few steps away from the center snapping the ball), the Cowboys pass the ball a whopping 94% of the time.
