Not many predict the Dallas Cowboys to go on the road and beat the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are one of the elite teams in the NFL and the Cowboys have only beaten one team with a winning record, despite being 4-1. The last time the Cowboys traveled to CenturyLink Field was in 2012. At the time, the Cowboys were coming off a huge win against the rival New York Giants, but because of a fumbled kickoff by Felix Jones, the Cowboys barely showed up. They lost that game by a score of 27-7. Regardless, the Cowboys’ confidence is running high and they believe they can win this game, even if no one else believes so.
Generated by their prolific offensive line and the emergence of DeMarco Murray, the Cowboys haven’t had to rely on Tony Romo like they have in the past. While he has been rusty this year, Romo is starting to look like the Romo Cowboys fans have seen for 10 years. While Murray has carried the ball at least 22 times and ran for 100 yards in every game this season, that impressive streak could end this week as the Cowboys will be facing the Seahawks’ vaunted run defense.
Going up against a secondary that consists of Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas will be no easy task for Romo. The Cowboys will attempt to establish the run at the beginning of the game, but what happens if they get stopped at the line of scrimmage each time? If that happens, Romo will need to show out on Sunday. The margin of era in this game is ridiculously slim. If Romo can throw for two touchdowns and around 300 yards without turning the ball over, it will go a long way in determining the outcome in this game.
