Mick Shots: Here Are First Two-Game Takeaways
Talking turnovers, Martin & Steele, the running game's "slider" and more!
FRISCO, Texas – Keep getting asked about what's my biggest takeaway from the first two games of the season, the biggest surprise.
That's easy.
Takeaways.
No?
Come on, that was one of the Cowboys' biggest deficiencies in the first half of the 2020 season, a season in which opponents scored 473 points, yielding the most single-season points in franchise history. Not even Jerry Jones could buy a takeaway.
Well, the 1-1 Cowboys have feasted on takeaways in two games. They have six of them. Six, now, and of all things after last year's struggles, those six lead the league, one more than Houston and New England.
Come on, who would have thunk that?
Why, the Cowboys didn't record their sixth takeaway last year until Game 8. In two games this season, the Cowboys have recorded four interceptions and two fumble recoveries, and with only two giveaways their plus-4 in turnover differential also leads the NFL, a one turnover margin over Houston and New England.
Oh, and how about this? Four interceptions in the first two games, two of those belonging to Trevon Diggs, on a 17-pick pace if he continues to grab one a game.
