In the NFL, the value of a strong defense cannot be overstated. We have all heard the old adage that “defenses win championships”, and while a high-powered offense is all the rage right now, there is something to be said about being the team that looks to build a unit that can handle, and beat, the Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts of the world.
When you look at the Dallas Cowboys since Dan Quinn got to town, they have made it their mission to build a high-octane defense to combat the league’s best offensive attacks. From historically bad in 2020 under Mike Nolan, to where they are now is nothing short of miraculous.
