I'm not sure if that's entirely true but I would think that the Cowboys will play us similar to other teams (Ten, GB, Buf etc).

They were 2-high and even 3-high at times. That's why Williams had so many catches.
It's true the Raiders went back to their single high stuff but not the entire game. The idea that they simply didn't use the cover 2 shell is false. They tried it and Patrick beat it - repeatedly. They scored three TD's in the first half on 9, 10, and 11 plays respectively.
I expect the Cowboys to run cover 2. I expect Patrick to pick them apart, just like he did the Raiders.
