![]() They even had their first kickoff returned for a touchdown since Pro Bowler Dwayne Harris did it back in 2015. They also had a sack/strip fumble recovery that was taken to the house. Twice the team blocked a punt and recovered it in the endzone. ![]() Two of those came courtesy of All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs and two of them came from a defensive lineman. Five times the team indulged in a pick-six. Five different running backs scored touchdowns and 11 different players caught a touchdown, including 310-pound tackle Terence Steele.īut the real boost from the Cowboys' touchdown totals comes from the team’s defense and special teams. The Cowboys had players coming out of the woodwork scoring touchdowns. Check out the year-by-year data for the number of different players to score over the last 10 years and look at how 2022 dwarfs the previous years. That is the same amount of players who have scored over the previous two seasons combined. Collectively, 22 different players found the endzone this past season. The Cowboys got help from a lot of different people. They scored a total of 530 points, which was not only more than any other NFL team this past season, but that equated to over 31 points a game which is more than this team has averaged in any year over its storied 62-year existence. Oh sure, we did get that bonus 17th regular-season game to help pad the numbers, but even without it, the Cowboys were scoring fools. Here is a year-by-year breakdown of the team’s total touchdown tally over the past 10 years. Make no mistake about it, we got to witness a lot of scoring by the Cowboys last season. That’s a lot! You’d have to go all the way back to the 2014 season to see them even eclipse the 50 touchdown mark. In all, the team scored 64 total touchdowns in 2021. That is a very tough pill to swallow made even more difficult when you consider that never in our existence have we watched a Cowboys football team score more touchdowns during the regular season. The Dallas Cowboys didn’t win a playoff game last season.
