STATSBOMB: Week One - Dallas Cowboys 7, Washington Redskins 13


Welcome to the inaugural STATSBOMB post on We Want Dallas - this first edition is actually just copied from an email I wrote, but due to positive reception, I'll be posting one of these after each game this season.
Number of Redskins wins after Week One
My goal with STATSBOMB is to put together a collection of meaningful stats and facts from both the most recent game and from emerging season-long trends. I intend to pull and create stats that interest me and tell an interesting story about the game and the team, but I won't be tracking stats just for the sake of stats.

So here goes - STATSBOMB Week One 
  • Statline for Landry: 17 tackles (13 solo), 1 pass deflected 
  • Pass Deflections by the Redskins D: 8 
  • Percentage of Tony Romo passes deflected: 17% 
  • Redskins average kickoff return: 38 yards (both Devin Thomas) 
  • Number of field goals missed by Graham Gano: 0 
  • Number of holding penalties called on an O-lineman blocking Brian Orakpo: 3

Number of teams wearing gold pants last night: 1
Ratio of gold-pants-wearing to wins: 1:1
  • Games at FedEx that I've been to where the crowd was as loud: 0 
  • Number of plays (offense or defense) for which Micah and I were sitting down: 0 
  • Minimum types of meat eaten by Micah and I yesterday: 8 
  • The perfect amount of beer for an 8 hour tailgate for two people: One case + 2 beers 
  • Number of high fives: 8.467 million (approx.) 
  • Time spent at FedEx: approximately 14 hours (arrival: 11:45 AM, departure 1:45AM
