The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but just before they did some fans were scratching their head about a decision that they made. Among those listed as inactive for the Cowboys was defensive tackle Neville Gallimore. There had been no indication that Gallimore was dealing with an injury in the lead-up to the game, but in the aftermath of his designation the team’s brain-trust has explained that it wasn’t just a “healthy scratch” situation.
Whatever the case, the Cowboys had some bodies to work with along the interior in players like Osa Odighizuwa and Quinton Bohanna, but while they are talented the team has been struggling at defending the run for most of the season.
