THE READ
Cowboys win the turnover battle and the game
THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commanders | -15.3 | +4.0 | -19.3 | -4 |
| Cowboys | -1.9 | -3.5 | +1.5 | +14 |
SRS is how many points a side beats an
average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.
