News: BTB: Can The Dallas Cowboys Average 30 Points Scored Per Game In 2015?

There are not that many teams in the NFL that can keep pace with an offense that consistently puts up 30+ points.

After the Pittsburgh Steelers put up the most points in franchise history last season, Ben Roethlisberger told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Sunday that the Steelers want to score 30 points in every game.

Tony Romo, who is entering his 13th season, would probably say much the same thing about his offense. The 2014 Cowboys scored 467 points, the second highest total in franchise history (and 31 points more than the 2014 Steelers), but even with that points total, the Cowboys didn't reach the 30-point per game threshold.

Since realignment in 2002, and after the Greatest Show on Turf averaged more than 30 points per game for three consecutive years from 1999-2001, only 15 teams have averaged more than 30 points per game (which translates to 480 points per season).

Of note, 14 of those 15 teams made the playoffs and their W/L records average out to about 13-3. If you're looking for a quick way to the playoffs, history suggests that consistently scoring 30 points would be a good place to start looking.

Lets hope with an improved defense, they wont need to.

We shouldn't average 30 points a game if the running game is clicking. But if our defense can help us out with a few more three and outs then it would be possible.

The defense should help.
Also, the run game clicked great last year and we averaged almost 30 (29+) so it's doable.
