I have come to believe that the NFL is more about sign-stealing and other peripheral forms of cheating than actual on-field talent. There was a report earlier this year that "everybody knows the Cowboys signals." I guess in individual matchups, one team could have some piece of information on the other team that throws a wrench in their whole gameplan.
I really have no other way to explain the Cowboys losing to the Jets, then destroying the Rams.
Most teams run at least some “check with me”
