After three weeks mostly dormant, the Dallas Cowboys offense finally came alive in the 26-24 win over the Detroit Lions to finish with 414 total yards on 65 plays (6.4 yards per carry).
Many clamored for offensive coordinator Scott Linehan to totally revamp his system and playbook. Instead, Linehan decided to use familiar concepts -- such as play-action, up-tempo offense and pre-snap motion -- more frequently against the Lions.
Dallas utilized the play-action passing game on 35.5 percent of Dak Prescott's dropbacks, a considerable jump from Dallas' previous play-action pass rate (22.1 percent of dropbacks in Weeks 1-3).
