Cowboys typically succeed when Dak Prescott throws less, but they continue to throw more with him

It used to be a bit of a thing to talk about the Cowboys record when DeMarco Murray had 20 or more carries. Those were some good times.
At one point in time Dallas boasted a fine amount of wins when they found a way to give Murray the ball that many times. I remember thinking then “well if they’re so good when that happens, why don’t they do it all the time?”.
Football isn’t necessarily that black and white. It’s not as if DeMarco carrying it at least 20 times automatically resulted in whens. It was more about what those carries suggested/implied, that Dallas was dominating and controlling the clock, and they happened to coincidentally have a nice correlation with it.
