Looking at all the statistics, advanced or otherwise, this Dallas Cowboys team is clearly one of the best in the NFL. They’ve allowed the sixth-fewest points, scored the sixth-most points, rank first in offensive DVOA and 20th in defensive DVOA. They’ve got an all-star quarterback playing some of the best football of his entire career, a huge threat in the backfield, and a top-five receiving corps in the league.
Yet despite all those things, this is a 5-4 team. Aside from one beatdown of an inconsistent Philadelphia Eagles team, the Cowboys don’t have a staple win on their schedule.
