Keys to victory
For the Arizona Cardinals on offense it is to be able to move the ball, which they can do, but score touchdowns and not settle for field goals in the red zone. Any points are good but they need to find the end zone more often on Sunday. On defense it will be all about stopping Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray. He has eight straight games of rushing for 100 yards or more.
For the Dallas Cowboys it’ll all depend on who is at quarterback. Since Tony Romo is a game time decision, backup Brandon Weeden has been preparing to start in case Romo can’t go. Either way they need a heavy dose of Murray. Easier said than done against the Cards rushing defense. However they may be able to keep Arizona on their heels if they get any kind of pass game going.
