In a commanding display during Week 12 of the 1999 regular season, the Las Vegas Bulls continued their undefeated run by dismantling the struggling Cowboys 46-6 on the road. Head Coach Jason Burton's squad not only clinched the division title with this victory but also showcased a masterclass in tactical football that preyed on the Cowboys' weaknesses while highlighting the Bulls' versatility and execution.

From the outset, Burton employed a diversified offensive scheme blending power and finesse, setting the tone with an early touchdown pass from QB Garry Griggs to WR Kevin Hartshorn, who exploited a mismatch against the Cowboys' cornerback in single coverage. The Bulls’ ability to mix their formations—from a 3-5 shotgun to effective use of tight ends and fullbacks—kept the Cowboys’ defense off balance. This was evident on Alden Wilder's short touchdown reception and Jeff Suarez’s surprise rushing score, capitalizing on critical holds by the offensive line to create scoring opportunities.

Griggs was stellar, completing 31 of 39 passes for 319 yards and five touchdowns, interspersed with one interception. His precision and patience under pressure allowed him to dissect the Cowboys’ secondary consistently, particularly exploiting linebacker coverage breakdowns. Complementing the aerial assault was a ground game fueled by James Sotelo, who rushed for 96 yards and tacked on a receiving total of 103 yards, and Stephen Young’s additional 87 rushing yards. These runners provided balance, forcing the Cowboys’ defenders to respect the run and opening passing lanes in the intermediate range.

Defensively, Burton’s unit was relentless, applying five sacks and forcing a turnover on a pivotal fumble recovery by Paul Martinez that essentially ended any hope for a Cowboys comeback. The relentless pressure, especially by Cyril Thomas who recorded a safety on a sack deep in Cowboys territory, exposed offensive line protection flaws and disrupted QB Ernest Bullion’s rhythm. Bullion managed only 127 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception, hindered by the Bulls’ aggressive front and secondary coverage schemes.

Special teams also contributed, with Michael Thomas converting all his extra points and a crucial 48-yard field goal, underscoring the all-around dominance of the Bulls’ game plan. Despite the Bulls’ four penalties totaling 30 yards, Burton’s coaching adjustments neutralized any momentum the Cowboys attempted to build.

Cowboys Head Coach Alex Carter’s team struggled to generate any offensive consistency, with red zone visits and third-down attempts going unconverted, reflecting an unsettled and ineffective attack. The extended losing streak now stands at 12, confirming their status as the league's weakest side this season.

Ultimately, this game reinforced Las Vegas's status as the team to beat, with Burton’s versatile tactic-driven approach delivering both explosiveness and control. The Bulls' flawless 12-0 record and clinically executed win over the winless Cowboys position them as front-runners as the postseason approaches.
