ESPN FiveThirtyEight Signals: The Cowboys and the Indian

FiveThirtyEight and ESPN Films have released the second film in their Signals digital short series.

FiveThirtyEight Signals: The Cowboys and the Indian

A. Salam Qureishi grew up in India and knew nothing about football — or America. And yet in the early 1960s, Qureishi, a computer programmer and statistician, helped the Dallas Cowboys overhaul their scouting system, replacing hunches with hard numbers.

The result: five Super Bowl appearances and two titles. FiveThirtyEight and ESPN Films present “The Cowboys and the Indian,” directed by Mark Polish.
