Drive Killers: Are penalties derailing the 2018 Cowboys offense?

Even at the risk of bringing on an “avalanche of illogic” (per Mike Fisher) when saying anything slightly positive about the Cowboy, I’m going to start this post with some good news.

The Cowboys have only been called for 20 accepted penalties on offense this season. On a per-game basis, that ties the Cowboys for the 13th-fewest penalties in the league. Things look even better on defense, where they are tied for the 9th-fewest penalties (15).

It wasn’t so long ago that the Cowboys regularly ranked among the most penalized teams in the league, so that’s definitely something to feel good about.
