The Dallas Cowboys have been on a roll this season. The team has managed to secure the top seed in the NFC East over their rivals Philadelphia Eagles after beating them last Sunday.
Their 10-3 record this season has fans all riled up and excited as the team has never looked this good since 1995 and this is their best shot at making the Super Bowl in over two decades. The team has one of the hardest schedules in the NFL to finish off the season and they will be facing the Buffalo Bills this Monday.

Ahead of their game, the Cowboys have come up with a rather unique way to prepare their players. The team has begun to stick actual photos of faces of players of the Buffalo Bills onto their practice equipment and then make their defensive and offensive players do the usual drills.
It is evident, that the team is attempting to inculcate a sense of resentment in the minds of their players so that come game time, the team will not treat it as just another regular season matchup but will take the game more personally.
It might look bizarre prima facie but it is actually a stroke of genius on the part of the Cowboys staff as they are making it personal for the team which will lead the players to give it their everything. Resentment, when used wisely, can be a great tool, especially for an athlete and the Cowboys seem to have understood this.

If the team has been running through practice equipment with the faces of Bills’ players all week long, it gives them the confidence that they will be able to do the same with the actual players as well.
Will the Dallas Cowboys prove that their unique tactic at practice works or will they end up becoming a victim to memes and trolling? That answer shall be determined on Monday.
The team has gotten a massive morale boost after they beat the Philadelphia Eagles by 20 points last weekend. This momentum is likely to be carried into the subsequent weeks and it could not have come at a better time for America’s team.
