The Cowboys snapped their first (and only) losing streak on the year with a close, and controversial, win at home over the Lions. There were a handful of great performances from star players, though the Cowboys’ rookies were short on big moments in this one.
iDL Mazi Smith
Despite Johnathan Hankins missing his third straight game, Mazi Smith’s snap count went down this week. His 16 defensive snaps were fourth among interior defenders after he had been second each of the last two weeks. That was despite the fact that Dallas faced a fairly run heavy offense in the Lions.
