Crunching Cowboys stats: Looking for signposts to the playoffs

The Dallas Cowboys got a big, much-needed win over a clearly overmatched New York Giants team on Monday night. That was despite the Cowboys making their biggest mistakes of the game early, and giving the home team a chance to trap Dallas in another MetLife Stadium nightmare. The 37-18 final score was impressive, but also padded by what was really a garbage time defensive score.

Now, sitting at 5-3 and leading their division by a half-game over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cowboys enter the second half of the season needing to figure out what went wrong and needs to be corrected.
