When it comes to the debate between pass rush and coverage, the Dallas Cowboys have been fortunate to have star players at both levels of their defense over Dan Quinn’s tenure as defensive coordinator. They’ve led the NFL in takeaways for the last two years, and this year with the offense putting up points at a breakneck pace, these extra possessions have led to one win by 40 points, three by at least 30, and three others by at least 20.
Then there was the outlier that became the Cowboys ninth win last Thursday night against the Seahawks.
