Sometimes, a football game turns into a simple matter of real estate. It’s not necessarily who acquires the most land, but who ends up with the best locations.
On Monday night, the Cowboys took advantage of location, location, location to beat the Cardinals 28-17 at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Dallas opened drives no more than 50 yards from the goal line three times: the 33-, the 46- and the 50-yard lines They scored touchdowns each time.
The Cardinals, in contrast, had the goal at their heels far too often. They started possessions at their 10-, 7- and 4-yard lines.
