DeMarcus Lawrence is playing like the man the Cowboys hoped they had when they traded up for him in the 2014 draft.
DeMarcus Lawrence isn’t giving the belt back. Not this week, for sure.
With three more sacks on Monday night pushing his early-season total to a league-best 6.5, the 25-year-old defensive end still holds the green-strap championship boxing belt given to the Cowboys’ defensive lineman of the week.
“It’s mine,” he said with a smile after the team’s 28-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals. “Undisputed.”
There’s no disputing this: Through three games, Lawrence is tormenting offenses like no Cowboys pass rusher has since another DeMarcus (Ware) a few years back.
