"For decades, the NFL talking heads have conditioned us fans to look at volume stats like passing yards or rushing yards, yet the number of yards you accumulate or give up has almost no correlation with whether you win or lose a game in the NFL."
"Today, winning in the NFL is all about passing efficiency. Last year, the 14 playoff teams all ranked within the top 17 teams in Passer Rating Differential (PRD)."
"The key to the Cowboys making the playoffs in 2026 will be an improved passer rating differential. Don't trust anybody who tells you otherwise."
"You could argue that part of the solution for the Cowboys' pass coverage woes will have to come from an improved pass rush."

Winning in the NFL relies more on passing efficiency than traditional volume stats. The 14 playoff teams had high passer rating differentials, indicating its importance for success. To improve their chances in 2026, the Cowboys must enhance their pass defense, as their offense is already performing well. An improved pass rush could also help address coverage issues.
