For consideration of how good those
5-year records are, this year the Cow-
boys tied their best-ever regular season
record with 13 wins, 3 losses, finishing
with 13 wins, 4 losses after the playoff
loss to the Giants.

At 13-4, the Cowboys' 2007 season was
a .765 winning percentage.

Interesting.
If Emmit didn't hold out at the start of '93, we likely would have had two
more wins.
That would put us @ .784.
21 points with just two wins.
I guess that doesn't really mean a whole lot, but it's still interesting.
