How has Cowboys defense been so surprising? 'We ain't going to take no (expletive)'

CLEVELAND -- The Cowboys are 7-1 at the midway point and their offense has clearly developed an identity of wanting to be physical and run the ball.

But what about the Cowboys' surprising defense? What has it proven so far?

"That we ain't going to take no [expletive] and we're going to keep fighting," defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence said. "You like that?"

Well, Cleveland certainly had a problem with it Sunday.

Playing without two starters, the Cowboys' defense played its best game yet in holding the Browns to 222 total yards and a season-low 10 points.
