Could The Cowboys Set The Scoring Record?

The Dallas Cowboys, now 1/4 through the NFL season, are on a record-setting pace for points scored. In 1998, the Minnesota Vikings set the current record, scoring 556 points.

Here is a comparison of the 2007 Cowboys thus far and the Vikings' '98 season stats:

'98 Vikes:

Points per game - 34.7
Rushing average - 121
Passing Average - 270.5
Total yards per game - 391.5
Yards per play - 6.21

'07 'Boys:

Points per game - 37.8
Rushing average - 152.5
Passing Average - 288.3
Total yards per game - 440.8
Yards per play - 7.0

I know. It's early. But it's not that early.
