Dallas 8 and 0 record on the road is not what it seems. They only played 2 teams out of the 8 games that had more than 6 wins. Seattle and Philly. Their road wins were all against patsys other than those 2.
Also they only played 8 games against teams with winning records Seattle, SF, Zona, Philly 2 times, Colts. They were 3 and 3 in those games.
You're really going to try and diminish an 8-0 record that includes a win at Seattle? They can only play the games on their schedule.
Yes I am going to diminish it.
When a team plays one of the easiest schedules in football they get good records. Interestingly Seattle played the hardest schedule and still beat out Dallas in the standings.
Don Banks has also noticed who Dallas played on the road and wrote this
"Did the Cowboys have some fortunate road outcomes in 2014? Yeah, they did. They caught St. Louis in Week 3 and Seattle in Week 6, before those two clubs started playing greatly improved ball at home and on the road. They had a "road" game in London, against a 1-8 Jacksonville team in Week 10. And by the time the Cowboys traveled to the Giants and Bears in Weeks 12 and 14, respectively, both teams were a mess."
