Giveaway/Takeaway

Anyone remember when we were -7 after several games?

We've been rapidly improving in takeaways. I don't know the stats on turning these into points but it feels like several of these have been big turning points for us in close games. Had this not changed, I would suggest that we would currently be on the outside looking in at the playoff spots. I find it hard to imagine that we could have continued to overcome a big giveaway deficit.

 Tony Romo mentioned in the Vikings game that in our 15-1 season we had fantastic field position which was making a huge difference to our ability to score (short fields). I saw a stat prior to the christmas games that since week 10 we are the highest scoring offense in the NFL (ppg). This is an ascending team even if the TB game makes us feel otherwise.

Also 3rd in sacks only 3 behind the vaunted Sacksonville D, and 1 behind the Steelers.
