A quick look at a few plays from the Cowboys and Vikings game reveals that doing the little things right adds up.
Setting the tone early
Ahead of Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, there was a lot of talk from the leaders of this defense and how they needed to respond against the run. The two most vocal on the subject were Micah Parsons and Jayron Kearse, the latter describing the mood of the defense as “angry”.
Angry would be a good way to characterize the rushing style of Vikings running back Dalvin Cook.
