By now you’re likely well-aware that the Cowboys entered their game against the Philadelphia Eagles as the only team in the NFL not to begin a drive in opposing territory. That was one of the more unbelievable stats of the season.
We can now say was because Dallas ended that drought and they did so rather quickly. Altogether the Cowboys generated four turnovers on Sunday night (you know, when they beat the Eagles) and as a result began four drives on the other side of the 50-yard line.
Cowboys drives resulting from Eagles turnovers
| How Ball Obtained | Starting Field Position | Cowboys Result |
|---|---|---|
| How Ball Obtained | Starting Field Position | Cowboys Result |
| Dallas Goedert fumble | PHI 45 | Touchdown |
| Carson Wentz fumble | PHI 14 | Touchdown |
| Carson Wentz interception | PHI 39 | Interception |
| Carson Wentz fumble | PHI 16 | Touchdown |
This is a beautiful-looking list, isn’t it? Bathe in it.
Real talk though, turnovers are a very good thing and were a huge reason why the Cowboys dominated the Eagles last week. This is something that we talked about in the latest video on the Blogging The Boys YouTube Channel (subscribe right here).
