ARLINGTON, Texas – The stats aren’t good, but they don’t quite do justice to the Cowboys’ offensive ineptitude Sunday against the Patriots.
The stats will show you that Brandon Weeden completed 67 percent of his passes for 188 yards, or that Darren McFadden caught nine balls for 62 yards.
They gloss over the fact that 74 of the Cowboys’ 264 yards came in the game’s final five minutes, with a 30-6 outcome all but decided. They also obscure the fact that Dallas went three-and-out on six occasions, and that the offense converted just 29 percent on third down.
