Dissection of the Cowboys usually focuses on what the team hasn’t done or what it must do the remainder of the way.

Remove the past and future tense. In this moment of NFL time, based on a representative snapshot, where do the Cowboys rank?

Think Miami. If you have trouble wrapping your head around that observation since the Cowboys drilled the Dolphins earlier this season, that’s fine. Go with the New York Jets, a team that beat Dallas 31 days ago.

Recent outcomes put all three teams on the same level.

Let’s start with the end of September, known in competitive time as Week Four. Since then, every team in the league has played either six or seven games.

Only five teams in the NFL have a worse record than Dallas in this stretch. The Cowboys have lost four of six games along with the Dolphins and Jets. Throw Tampa Bay in there as well for good measure.

A total of seven teams are 2-4 since Week Four. The Cowboys are the only team in that group that leads their division, a fact that speaks more to the club’s 3-0 start and a weak NFC East than it does their relative strength.

The point here is that the Cowboys are closer to the bottom half of the league over these last seven weeks than the top. Keep that in mind as you project how the race with Philadelphia unfolds.

Speaking of the Eagles…

Philadelphia is 4-2 over the same span. Only three of its final seven opponents currently have a winning record. The next two — New England and Seattle — are the toughest.

The team’s left on the Eagles schedule have a .424 winning percentage.

The opponent’s left on the Cowboys schedule have a .507 winning percentage.

Advantage, Philadelphia.

“We have a bigger challenge now for these next seven ball games,’’ owner Jerry Jones said in the wake of Sunday night’s loss to Minnesota.

Next up: Detroit. If it helps — and the Cowboys will take all the help they can get at this stage — the Lions are one of the few teams that have a worse record than Dallas over the last seven weeks.

“We have to go win that game,’’ quarterback Dak Prescott said. “One day at a time. That’s how we’re going to take it.

“That’s our approach.’’

That’s been the Cowboys approach since the final Sunday in September when they faced New Orleans.

How has that worked out?
