Why the Cowboys offense should average over 30 points per game in 2024

Did you know that no other NFL team scored more points over the last three seasons than the Dallas Cowboys? Not only that, but the Cowboys led the league in scoring in 2021 (530 points), ranked third in 2022 (467 points), and again led the league last year (509 points).
On a per-game basis, that averages out to 31.2 points per game in 2021, 27.5 in 2022, and 29.9 in 2023, one point shy of averaging exactly 30 points for the season.
Last season, the Cowboys tied a franchise record by scoring 30+ points in 10 games for only the second time in franchise history, equaling the 2014 team (that played only 16 games).
Why is all this relevant? The Cowboys’ record over the last three years in games where they scored 30+ points: 21-2. If you’re looking for a shortcut to the playoffs, scoring 30+ points per game would be a convenient way.
In a similar vein, 29 NFL teams have averaged more than 30 points per game (480 points per season until 2020, 510 points since 2021) since realignment in 2002, and all but one of those teams made the playoffs.
Last year, teams were 103-15 when scoring 30 points or more for a cool .873 winning percentage. Applying that winning percentage to a 17-game schedule gives you a 15-2 record.
