The Team That Turns Every Struggling Offense Into a Highlight Reel: Meet the 2025 Cowboys.QQ
If the Arizona Cardinals score less than 27 points against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, a strange trend for the Dallas Cowboys will live for one more week.
For the previous eight opponents, they have all seen the same thing happen the following week after playing the Cowboys.
They have all scored fewer points the week after playing Dallas than they did when they lined up against the Cowboys. For seven of those eight teams, they scored fewer points the week before playing Dallas too.
The only team to break the trend of scoring more the week before was Washington.
The Commanders scored 24 against the Bears before putting up 22 against Dallas.
Washington only managed seven points the week after the Cowboys’ loss at Kansas City.
If you are an offensive coordinator in the NFL and your team had a bad day, there is one thing that should brighten your day. The Dallas Cowboys being your next opponent.
It will be interesting to see how much longer the trend holds up.
The Next Chances
The Cardinals have a tough challenge on Sunday.
Seattle is 6-2 and tied for first with the Rams. The Seahawks are giving up just under 19 points a game.
The last time the teams played, back in Week 4 in Phoenix, Arizona scored 20 points.
They, and Tampa Bay (38 points) are the only two teams to score 20 points or more against Seattle this season.
The Cowboys’ next opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders, played Denver on Thursday night. Las Vegas put up just seven points on the Broncos.
Depending on how severe Geno Smith’s leg injury is, the Cowboys could be facing Kenny Pickett at quarterback.
The last backup quarterback they faced, Joshua Dobbs, hung 27 points on them.
