Why the Cowboys run defense is a problem and what it’s going to take to get better

The defense of the Dallas Cowboys (in my Matt Foley voice) has “what they call a run game problem.” On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills ran rampant over the Cowboys' defense as they looked helpless surrendering 266 yards on the ground. It was the eighth time the defense has given up over 200 yards on the ground since Mike McCarthy took over as the coach and the fourth time since Dan Quinn took over as the defensive coordinator. It’s an issue that rears its ugly head now and again and is the weakest link on this Cowboys football team.
