The Dallas Cowboys had one of the worst run defenses in the NFL last season. This unit gave up an average of 158.8 yards on the ground to opposing offenses per game in 2020.
To address their defensive issues, the Cowboys fired their defensive coordinator of a single year in Mike Nolan and replaced him with former Atlanta Falcons head coach, Dan Quinn. Dallas also added veterans Carlos Watkins and Brent Urban to the interior of their defensive line via free agency.
