On Sunday, the New England Patriots faced the Dallas Cowboys in a highly-anticipated match-up.

While the game was a lopsided 30-6 win for the Patriots, the conditions aligned perfectly at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, helping some talented photographers produce some amazing photographs.

The combination of the late-afternoon game, the low October sun, and a southwest-facing end zone that is covered in large windows, produced a lighting effect inside the stadium that seemed to spotlight specific players and give the field a warm glow.

Here are 13 pictures taken by Associated Press, Getty Images, and USA Today photographers.
