2017 Dallas Cowboys: Time to lower the expectations
https://thelandryhat.com/2017/10/10/2017-dallas-cowboys-expectations/

The math speaks for itself. Good teams do not score 30+ points in back-to-back games and lose. In fact, there has been only one other team in NFL history to pull off that feat. The 2012 Detroit Lions. They finished with a record of 4-12...
