Turnover Margin Did Not Quite Make History
The 2015 Cowboys were in the mood to give gifts. That is, 11 fumbles, 22 interceptions.As we all know, the 2015 Dallas Cowboys will go down in history as one of the worst teams in franchise history.
And, of course, the team might be best known for its lack of turnovers. The team forced only 11 turnovers in 16 games.
In the history of the NFL, the team’s turnover differential of -22 ranks as the 27th worst in a season. Among teams playing 16-game seasons since 1978, only 14 teams have had a turnover differential worse than -22.
The 14 teams with turnover differentials worse than -22 since 1978 have won an average of 3.78 games.
It is only fitting that Dallas went 4-12.
