The great Bear Bryant is credited to have once said: “Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.” If Bryant coached the Dallas Cowboys this year, maybe he would changed that famous quote to: “America’s Team sells tickets, but can their defense win a championship?”
With the 10-1 red hot Cowboys being led by two rookies, quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott, the media focus has been mainly on Dallas’ offense. Their ability to win the battle of time of possession, which TeamRankings.com claims the Cowboys are ranked 2nd in the NFL with 32:32 per game, is seen by many as their poor defense’s saving grace.
