Interesting stats at the halfway point

[DallasInDC]

After today's games, only the Cowboys and the colts rank in the top 5 in both offense and defense.

Offense
Rank Team yds/game
1 St. Louis 369.6
2 Denver 368.1
3 New England 362.9
4 Dallas 357.8
5 Indiannapolis 353.7

To stay at #5 New England will have to hold the Colts to less than 382.3 yds
To move to #4 the Colts will have to hold the patriots to less than 327.1 yds, as well as gain no more than 382.3 yds.

We also rank 14th in scoring and if new england is held to under 23 pts tomorrow we move up to 13th


Defense
Rank Team yds/game
1 Tampa bay 236.86
2 Baltimore 262.5
3 Chicago 265.2
4 Indiannapolis 277.9
5 Dallas 282.6

If the colts allow no less than 310.9 yds and no more than 382.3, the Cowboys will be ranked #4 in both offense and defense.

We also rank seventh in points allowed and point differential. (The colts rank 1st in points allowed and 4th in points scored)


This team is very promising heading into the second half of the season because you know the young players will only get better with more experience and team chemistry.

That took a little time to calculate. Top five in both is pretty significant given who we've played.
