Pulling The Stats: Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants

By Bevomav

Before we get to the Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants matchup, let’s take a quick look at some other stats.

Steelers total QB ratings for the entire season.

75.5/44.5/80.2/81.7/85.4/81.1/77.1/87.9/49.2/95.8/43.6/63.8/39.4/44.9

Average QB rating 66.7

To this point Tony Romo has only started 38 games. So I thought it would be fun to compare him to Troy Aikman at the 38 game mark. Both QB’S played 2 1/2 seasons for 38 games.

Troy 89/90/91 and Tony 06/07/08.

Tony has thrown 77 tds and has had 43ints or a +34
Troy had thrown 31 tds and had 31 ints or a -15

Romo leads all active QB’S except Peyton Manning and Tom Brady

Now on to the Giants. This game is a bigger challenge than Pittsburgh. Why? Because the Giants aren’t just a defensive team. They are ranked ahead of the Cowboys on offense and defense. The QB’S seem pretty even.

Romo vs Manning
