Benson Mayowa, David Irving lead Cowboys' rejuvenated pass rush

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli has been adamant that the Cowboys' pass rush would eventually improve because his defensive linemen worked tirelessly to improve a little every day.

After all, it's not like he could call 1-800-P-RUSHER and order somebody to wreak havoc on the quarterback.

Well, the day Marinelli has been talking about since the start of training camp has finally arrived, just in time for the playoffs.

As the sacks have increased -- 14 in the past four games -- so have the turnovers. The defense has forced 10 in the past four games after getting 10 in the first 10 games.
