What happened: The Dallas Cowboys are one of three NFL teams averaging at least 30 points per game. Their 30.5-point mark ties the San Francisco 49ers for second in the league, trailing only the Buffalo Bills at 31.8.

Why it matters: Maintaining this elite scoring pace reinforces the strength of the Dallas unit during a 4-3 start to the regular season. Keeping up with other high-powered offenses positions the team well moving forward.

By the numbers: The Cowboys lead the NFL with 3.4 points per drive despite logging a league-low 36 total drives. The offense has recorded 22 scoring series and shares the top mark for red-zone touchdowns.

What to watch: Dallas hosts the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in its next scheduled game.
