A long look at the Cowboys gutting overtime loss in New Orleans. By the numbers, of course.
At the end of a weird game, the final score ended up confirming what many of had suspected throughout: the Cowboys rarely seemed to be the better team. As was the case the week before, the hopeful glimmers came early. Let's start there:
54: Lance Dunbar's rushing yardage, which led the team. This came on three carries, which translates to a hefty 18.0 per-carry average. The problem, of course, is that 45 of those came on his first carry, which was followed by two more for a total of nine.
