The Dallas Cowboys defense is where snap counts tend to be the most interesting, because defense tends to use more substitutions and rotations than you have on offense. We’re going to break it down by position group to see what’s going on.
This is for week one, an opening night victory over the Giants in Dallas 19-3.
Defensive Overview
The Cowboys defense totally stifled the Giants in the first half, holding them to 49 total yards and only two first downs. On the game, the Giants only made it in to Dallas territory twice: once was on their opening drive of the second half, which led to their only points of the night, the second was at the very end of the game when they reached the Dallas 35-yard line.
