Dallas Cowboys Have Improved Enough for Super Bowl Win

Home » Cowboys » Dallas Cowboys Have Improved Enough for Super Bowl Win

The Dallas Cowboys very well may bring home a sixth Lombardi Trophy, which would be an NFL record. The team has improved on every statistical category from last year. Let’s take a look:

Offense

Rushing

17th in Total Rushing Yards: This would have been higher if not for the final, meaningless game of the season when the Cowboys rushed for one yard.
10th in Rushing TD’s: Not bad for a two-back system.
7th in Yards per Carry
16th in Yards/Carry on attempts 1-10: This is highlighted because these are Julius Jones‘ carries.
5th in Yards/Carry on attempts 11-20: This is highlighted because these are mostly Marion Barber’s carries.
17th in Rushes for over 10 yards
23rd in First Downs per Rush
8th in Stuffs: Julius Jones has been stuffed a lot.
11th in Stuffs/Carry
16th in % of 1st down when running on 3rd down

Passing

4th in Total Passing Yards: Please try stopping the offense in the playoffs. Terrell Owens is healthy.
2nd in Passing TDs: Again, bring it. We will overpower you.
7th in Pass Completion %
3rd in NFL QB Rating
17th in QB Rating in 1st Half: Typical slow starts. No one can explain why the Cowboys can’t bring the energy in the first half.
