PPG for the D in '22

[Creeper]

theres always one in every thread

One what? Realist? No one uses season stats anymore. They look for recent trends which are better at predicting games than what a team did back in September. The Cowboys compiled good stats when they had Lewis and Brown. Since they went down clearly the defense has not been the same. The same is true on offense. The Cowboys running game was strong when they had Steele at RT and Biadasz was healthy. Clearly, since Steele got hurt the running game has not been the same. We have to view this game by who is playing now.

I was glancing at the teams numbers on pro football reference and initially disappointed at how many points per game we ended up giving up only to remember, oh yeah, extra game. So I calculated per game with 16 or 17
For the last 10 years in order this year is 3rd best
2016 19.1
2019 20.063
2022 20.118
2018 20.3
2017 20.8
2021 21.1
2014 22.0
2015 23.4
2013 27.0
2020 29.6

Take away the 3 pick 6's by Dak and this season's defense ppg is actually 18.88 which is the best in the last 10 years.
