Dallas takes the top NFL Bottom 10 spot
- Share via
Difficult to believe, but the once-mighty Dallas Cowboys (0-1) are averaging seven points a game this season, meaning they have the second-worst offense in the NFL.
The only team more feeble is San Francisco, a 6-31 loser to Seattle, in a week in which every current and past California team fell. The Golden State, in fact, holds down Nos. 2-4 in the Bottom Ten.
The No. 3 Raiders, now in their seventh rebuilding year, put on a colorful display of fumbles, bad snaps and interceptions. On one pass play, Raider quarterback Jason Campbell first faked a handoff into the line. Only problem was that there was no Raiders running back pretending to take the handoff. For some reason, Tennessee wasn’t fooled.
Meanwhile, the No. 5 St. Louis Lambs (0-1), obviously trying to ease rookie quarterback Sam Bradford into the starting position, limited him to 55 pass attempts in a 13-17 loss to Arizona.
Speaking of teams in a tailspin, No. 6 Indianapolis suffered its third consecutive regular-season defeat, a streak that dates to 2009.
Who’d have guessed that it would look like we’ll have a Kansas City-Seattle Super Bowl?

Hold on! Dallas offensive tackle Alex Barron chalked up three holding calls Sunday, including one that nullified what would have been a game-winning touchdown against Washington. It’s nothing new. Last year he led the NFL with seven holding infractions.
