Key Takeaways

• Through four games, the Cowboys average 3.39 points per drive, placing them No. 5 in the all-time since 2000 metric and potentially No. 1 if sustained for a full season.
• Dak Prescott had voiced frustration after a loss to Baltimore, challenging the team’s self-described 'Greatest Offense There Is' label, but rebounded in Week 4 to lead a comeback win over the Texans with Lamb scoring the decisive TD with 40 seconds left.
• CeeDee Lamb starred in the Houston game with a career day, highlighted by the game-winning reception from Prescott as Dallas erased a late deficit.
• Three missed field goals by kicker Brandon Aubrey—two blocked and one from 64 yards—are cited as factors preventing an even higher offensive number and underline ongoing special-teams and red-zone issues.
• Dallas’s NFC Championship drought dates back to 1995, with the franchise last appearing in the title game after winning the Super Bowl that season.
• The Cowboys’ high-powered numbers are contrasted by early-season inconsistencies, including failed opportunities in losses to Baltimore and in the Giants game, which the team would need to minimize to sustain momentum.
• Dallas has a quick turnaround on Thursday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5, offering a immediate test of whether the offense can convert trend into sustained success.
