[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 591601"] Yes, Dallas' decent passer rating is partially based on the 7th. ranking in INTs, but also on their tied-for-6th. ranking in fewest pass TDs surrendered (22). Their ranking in percent per attempt in both categories is probably about the same since they're right in the middle of the league in attempts against at 558. They fare much worse in completion % against (28th.) and yards per attempt against (tied for 20th.), the other two components in passer rating. Looking deeper at the TDs surrendered, I figured they might be playing bend-don't-break with decent long pass play and red zone numbers. Here's how they rate: fewest 20+ yd. pass plays against: 45, tied for 7th. fewest 40+ yd. pass plays against: 14, tied for 27th. red zone TDs against: 60.8, 27th. This poses something of a quandary...how does a team that is porous in the red zone and vulnerable to the deep pass give up so few passing TDs? I think there's at least a partial answer. Dallas surrendered 18 rushing TDs, 31st. in the league. At the same time, they surrendered only one 40+ rushing play, and 12 rushing plays for 20+ for a 24th. rank. The latter stat is little deceiving since it's only 3 more runs than the 12th. ranked teams. A conclusion that can be drawn is that teams have had good success running the ball against Dallas in the red zone. And if you're running the ball for scores you're not passing the ball into the end zone from close range. In other words, the low TD pass numbers may be a result of opponents frequently not having to throw from close range. [/QUOTE]
