Brandon: No team has been able to stop Christian McCaffrey in 2023. The last time McCaffrey was held under 60 yards of offense was against the Cowboys in the playoffs. Dan Quinn’s defense held him to 35 yards rushing and 22 receiving yards.

The Cowboys were much better against the run in the playoffs because of Johnathan Hankins and getting relentless pursuit from the rest of their defense.
