IRVING, Texas -- When a team is on a six-game losing streak, it looks for any kind of slump-buster. Maybe the slump-buster for the Dallas Cowboys this week will be referee Bill Vinovich.
Vinovich will call Sunday’s game against the Tampa Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. Why is he a potential slump-buster? He was the referee in the Cowboys’ season-opening win against the New York Giants. Hey, at this point, teams look for any bit of help.
Since 2012, the Cowboys are 3-1 with Vinovich’s crew working the game. In the win against New York, the Cowboys were penalized three times for 35 yards, while the Giants had five penalties for 44 yards.
