The patriots were 2-3 when Dallas played them - hardly a solid team at that point. And of the teams you mentioned, only the Pats made the playoffs. The Chargers game was game #2 of the season, so no one had any idea what to really expect.
Sure, those were 5 wins outside of the division, but in keeping with Dak's inability to show up against the truly good teams, none of those wins were remarkable. Too much credit was given for the win over the Patriots in my opinion. But hey, a win is a win.
Anyone that's watched football for more than a week knows a victory in Foxboro is a great victory. Let's also not ignore how they overcame terrible officiating. I mean, it was bad, real bad.
Anyhow like I said beat the cover 2 carries actual merit. His record outside the division is negatively exaggerated.
