Few Noticeable Items From NFL Stat Sheet

Through 10 games of the season, it's far enough to start getting a solid gauge on how this team, and individual players rank around the league.

For those who really only care about one stat and one stat only – this isn't for you. Just take the Cowboys' 6-4 record and wait until it changes next Thursday afternoon.

But for others who like to see how the team and players stack up, here are a few things to point out from this week's league statistics.

The only other team with rankings across the board that high is Houston. The Wade Phillips-led defense ranks first in the NFL.
