Many fans already knew that Dallas' opponents had the fewest penalty yards and second-fewest penalties last season. But despite being 22nd in penalty yards and 21st in penalties themselves, the Cowboys were hurt by their own penalties more than any other team. (Via @NinerStatsR)
This is based on Win Percentage Added (WPA). Essentially, the Cowboys' penalties hurt their chances of winning more than any other team's penalties hurt their chances, even though Dallas was called for fewer penalties (and for fewer yards) than most teams.
