On Blogging the Boys there is an article showing data over the last ten years of when the offense scores 24 points and when they don't. It proves a point that I have been making. The problem with the team is not the defense, but the inconsistent offense.
It shows the numbers of last year's offense, 37 points in wins and 17 points in losses. Very up and down, the most in the NFL. The defensive numbers are 17 points in wins and 23 in losses, more consistent.
Then there is the 10 year break down. Dallas is 62 and 18 when scoring 24 points in the last ten years.
Breaking it down further, from 2010 to 2013 Dallas was just 18 and 14 when scoring 24 points. But since 2014 Dallas is 44 and 4. Since 2016 Dallas is 32 and 2.
So the defense was not that good from 2010 to 2013, but since 2014 the defense has been excellent "WHEN" the offense performs. And during Prescott's time the defense has not been able to protect the 24 point mark TWICE.
The defense is not the best in the NFL, but it sure was and is good enough to win games when the offense shows up.
If Dallas has offensive consistency in 2020 they will win, the numbers prove it.
