After the Cowboys earned a narrow victory over the Chargers in Los Angeles in Week 2 of the season, I made the argument that John Fassel’s call for a punt block - which resulted in a roughing the punter penalty - was the correct call. Let’s just say there was a large segment of Cowboys fans that vehemently disagreed with that analysis and made their voices known on these pages.
With the regular season now finished, the Cowboys lead the NFL in blocked punts and have scored multiple touchdowns off of them. For the second time in Fassel’s two seasons running the Cowboys special teams, his unit has finished in the top seven in special teams DVOA.
