Dallas 2014/ 99.7- 2 /85.8- 23 /13.9- 5


...With that in mind, where do the Cowboys need the most help? In 2016, the Cowboys ranked:

• 24th, with an opponents passer rating of 94.1. Denver ranked first, at 69.7, more than 5 points ahead of the next team, the New York Giants. 10th was Arizona, at 85.1. That suggests Dallas needs to reduce opponents passer rating by close to 10 points to get into the top-10.
• 17th in touchdowns surrendered, with 25. Denver led with 13. The Giants were second with 15. Tenth was the Chargers, with 21.
• 27th in interceptions, with nine. Kansas City led with 18. Tenth was Oakland, with 16.
• 31st in completion percentage, at 67.1%. Denver led with 55.4%. The Giants were third at 58.6%. Tenth was Seattle, at 61.6%.
• 13th in yards per attempt, at 6.9. Denver led with 5.8 Y/A. Tenth was Arizona, at 6.8 Y/A.
• 26th in yards, at 4167. Denver led with 2972. Tenth was the Rams at 3732. Dallas surrendered more total yards because they faced more pass plays than most teams.
• 13th in sacks, at 36. Arizona led with 48. Tenth was Pittsburgh, with 38...
