Cowboys Practicing Against Photos of Bills Defenders

New Practice Tactic: Dallas Cowboys Tape Photos of Buffalo Bills Defenders to Equipment

There is quite a bit of pressure surrounding the Week 15 Dallas Cowboys' matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. On one hand, if the Cowboys are able to claim victory, they will remain in the No. 1 slot in the NFC East Division over the Philadelphia Eagles. 

On the other hand, if the Bills are to pull off a win, their playoff push will take off, assuming the Miami Dolphins lose some momentum down the line.

The Cowboys are not taking any chances at losing their dominant spot in their division at wet and windy Buffalo, so they are willing to prepare with any means necessary - including practicing with wet balls, dipping their hands in ice buckets and taping photos of Bills defenders to their practice equipment.

On Thursday, the Cowboys did in fact tape pictures to their equipment, not of the Bills' logo, but their actual faces. 

The pasted photographs were of course used motivation for the Cowboys to visualize taking control over their Sunday opponent, but after being captured on social media by Mike Fisher and Bri Amaranthus of CowboysSI.com, fans pitched in their thoughts ...

And many fans were not pleased with Dallas' practice tactic.
