Part of the problem with the cowboys defense was that their offense was good enough to put pressure on other teams to score. That's the only reason the Jaguars weren't setting records for all time futility on defense the last few seasons.

 

The Jaguars defense could barely fight its way out a wet paper bag, but other teams would let up since they were leading by 20 at halftime. In the cowboys case their offense made other teams keep the pedal down.
