Cowboys news: Dallas defense is off to a historically bad start in franchise history

The Cowboys defense underwent a significant amount of change this offseason, highlighted by a scheme change and losing their best player, so expectations weren’t high for this year. But they were surely higher than this, right?

When the 2020 campaign began, this unit was going to be whatever the mishmash of parts and plan dictated. Thus far, the result has been nothing short of terrible — to a historical degree.

How bad? Four games into the season — including Sunday’s embarrassing 49-38 loss to the Cleveland Browns — Dallas has given up an atrocious 146 points.
