The buzzword in the days leading up to the Dallas Cowboys' trip to the Indianapolis Colts was undoubtedly "execution." After failing to finish off their opponent in previous outings, most notably last week against the Arizona Cardinals, the Cowboys defense stressed the need to play a full 60 minutes.
And leading the charge in that effort was the unit's leader, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. Not only did he stress execution in his meeting with the media on Wednesday, he then backed up his talk by walking the walk in the team's 27-23 win over the Colts. That marked the fourth time in the last five games the defense has held an opponent to 24 points or less.
