The Cowboys conceded 91 offensive snaps which was the highest play count of 2012 by 21 plays! The previous high was 70 snaps by Cleveland a month ago. 91 was the highest conceded by the Cowboys going all the way back to Tom Landry, and you can believe that it likely goes back to the inception of the franchise.
The 562 yards the Saints put up were not the most conceded all-time by a Cowboys defense, but it was the most since the Houston Oilers ran up 583 yards in 1991. Before that, the Bengals had destroyed the Cowboys for 570 in 1985, but that is it. The next highest yardage total this season was 453 by the Falcons.
