Charles Dickens once wrote that it was the best of times and the worst of times. I don’t think he was thinking about the 2018 version of the Dallas Cowboys when he penned A Tale of Two Cities. But it could apply to the state of the offense and defense for this season’s Cowboys.
It was not long ago that the Cowboys offense carried the load for the team. In 2016, the offense led by two rookies, quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott, finished fifth in yards per game while the defense was very middle of the road at 14th.
