Last year the Cowboys defense had a turnaround season. Trevon Diggs had 11 interceptions, Micah Parsons made a serious run at Defensvie Plyer of the Year. Heck, the Cowboys even got quality play from their safeties. But there was one aspect of the defense that wasn’t so good. That was run defense.
Thanks to the Cowboys offense putting up a ton of points, the oppostion had to play catch-up quite a bit so they weren’t able to stick with the running game as much. But when they did, they found success. The prime example is what the San Francisco 49ers did agaisnt the Cowboys defense in the playoffs.
