FRISCO, Texas -- Sitting at his locker inside MetLife Stadium, DeMarcus Lawrence had a simple question after the Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants 40-0 to open the season.
“How many sacks did we get?” the defensive end asked.
Seven.
“Dang,” he said, shaking his head in disappointment.
He mentioned the Cowboys wanted nine. He even brought up the NFL record for sacks in a game, 14. With how well the Cowboys’ pass rush performed against the Giants, neither figure seemed impossible.
“That’s who we are,” Lawrence said of the pass rush’s performance.
