Image: Cowboys' early-down pass rate vs rest of league

[Aftershock]

Found this to be interesting. This shows the expected % of pass-rate on early downs (1st-2nd down) vs actual %.

This shows how balanced our offense really is, only passing 53% of the time on 1st down. Compare this with the clapper era where I believe we ran probably 70%+ of the time on early downs.

What's also surprising is Eagles and Bucs, they are passing 70%+ of the time on early downs

thanks for sharing it took me about five minutes to identify where the cowboys are located on this map (cardinal greenbay area). Still thinking about how this helps the defenses other than tendencies.
