The Cowboys are the only team in the NFL who has not achieved this goal

I wonder if there is another team in the league that hasn't reached 13 points in the first half?

I kind of doubt that there's a team out there that has only scored 11 or 12 points in the first half once. 11 points is damn near impossible to score, and 12 would require 4 FGs in 30 minutes, also rare.

13 would be a TD and 2 FGs, so that could be more plausible. I don't have the time to look it up now, but I suspect that we're the only team that hasn't scored 13 or more points in the first half this season.

Now, see I find this alarming and not arbitrary.

Dont really know why it is so small, but this is the relationship between first half points and point differential and W/L/T

I found the data game by game, this seems better as averages can mask an anomaly (e.g. NE going up by 35 in 1st half can skew there overall results)


You can see in upper left that scoring <=10pts in a half has a 34% winning. Go over 10 (usually starting at 13+) and that % jumps doubles to 69%

The total points while important ís still seemingly notstrong as margin. Go up by more than 1Td and teams have won 88% of those games

When trailing at halftime(Margin<0) there is only a 25% chance of winning. Tied is 50/50 (13/13). Only 40 games have been come from behind at halftime. That is surprising, but human nature will remember those games since they are likley more exciting.

Final chart to the right shows all team and the point differential in all of the wins. Only 4 teams have - point differntials (Jax, Dal, KC, Cle).

Hopefully our next head coach better have an offensive background.

See, wouldn't it have been great if you had looked into it further before going on a tirade about 11 points??
