Standing at 4-3 after seven games, the Cowboys are two games behind the 6-1 record they had in both of their most-recent playoff seasons, 2014 and 2016.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean they are playing worse this year than they did in those two previous seasons, at least not on offense.
Over seven games this year, the Cowboys have scored 198 points, two more than in 2014, and 10 more than in 2016. And there are more stats showing that the 2017 offense is holding its weight against the two previous playoff teams:
