Dallas-Tampa Bay was an incredibly odd game to evaluate from an offensive standpoint.



It was certainly poor when considering full production and anything resembling expected statistics. But with 9:13 to go in the first half, the Cowboys had the ball for just eight snaps in the first 21 minutes and had scored a touchdown on an impressive drive that marched the length of the field.



By the time the Cowboys got the ball back, despite having a 30-8 disadvantage in plays, they held an eight-point lead that would shrink to four, before expanding to fourteen over the course of the day just by waiting for the opponent to give the ball back to them. They won comfortably despite never really accomplishing anything more than the bare minimum on this occasion.



If you are wondering if this game seemed familiar for some reason, it is because it was. The Cowboys played a very similar — if not identical — offensive game in Week 2 when they beat the Giants 20-13...
