The other was after the Romo pick that was intended for Witten and it gave them a short field.
I don't know what the points against would be without pick 6's, short fields, and punt blocks but I guess every defense has those.
But I'm a Ryan homer so take it for what it's worth.
We know at least 21 points were the offenses fault (blocked punt @ NY, 2 pick and run backs vs Detroit) which would reduce our total points allowed to 107. This would be 3rd in the league. Average points per game would seem to be a better indicator and it would be 17.83 points per game after adjustment which would put them as 4th in the league. This is still skewed because I didn't adjust the other teams total points for points given up by their offenses and/or special teams.
Does anyone give stats adjusted like I did above? I don't know where the Cowboys D would fall if every defense had special team and offensive TD's removed but I suspect the Cowboys are leading in this category.
