"It is really challenging when the best corner of the team couldn't be part of the game, and there are situations we can't get our best players in ground," said the safety of Baltimore Ravens, Eric Weddle. "But, we should trust the players we have. We could stop Dallas Cowboys earlier, but couldn't stop at the right time."

Contrary to Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys is in their best form and reached the top on the points table of NFC and can be confirmed that the most consistent team of the NFL season. The team has made an amazing comeback from the last year's disappointing performance. The current Dallas Cowboys team reminds the 1992-95 season, where the team became Super Bowl champions three times.

The match on Sunday and the score have clearly defined the distinction between a confident team and the team failed to pull out a successful strategy. There are miles to go for both Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys before the conclusion and hence revived strategies, team spirit, and better execution may rewrite the season completely.
