Cowboys' trade deadline prediction would give defense missing piece for playoff push

The Dallas Cowboys are 3-4-1 but feature one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL, so they have one side of the ball nailed down in a big way. Despite the brutal loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 8, The Cowboys can still rebound and stack some wins here.

However, their ceiling will be limited if this defense does not improve. It's been the worst unit in football in many metrics this year, as defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has not been able to put his players in positions to succeed, but the talent is also lacking.
