I would rather score slightly less points and eat up more clock. If you have a scoring drive of a minute and a half you have to give the ball back with a limited time for the defense to rest. Multiply that by 17 games and you get a defense that is too fatigued to elevate their game a few notches in time for the playoffs.
Yes, the Cowboys were impressive in their scoring but they also produced some of the undesirable numbers. They were tied for 8th place in number of turnovers. The Cowboys defense was on the field for the 7th most plays.
The Cowboys need to slow the game down with a successful running attack. This also creates less situations where they must throw under less than optimum circumstances. It gives the defense more rest. .A higher percentage of running plays should also produce less turnovers and less penalties.
In the end, the only numbers the Cowboys should focus on producing is wins.
