Cowboys news: Dan Quinn has defense ‘sharpening the ax’ for the playoffs

The Cowboys will look to slow down a Packers team that’s won three straight to get into the playoffs, scoring 33 points in two of them.

“We’re definitely hitting our stride at the right time,” safety Jayron Kearse said. “You want to be playing your best ball when you get to that dance, and these past two weeks we’ve been hitting our stride. In order to keep that up, guys just keep doing what they’re doing. I don’t think anyone went in and did anything different. We got back to the basics and it worked.”

For Dan Quinn, the opportunity to bounce back in the latter weeks of the season has allowed Dallas to right wrongs and build confidence going into the win-or-go-home part of the season, even if he feels like there’s more room to grow.
