If the Dallas Cowboys had this defense last year, they would have won the Super Bowl.
Yeah, I know, everyone hates this defense, and everyone was reminded why during Saturday’s 19-16 loss at home to the New York Jets.
This defense can’t take the ball away, getting just its seventh interception of the season Saturday, and the first by a cornerback. Now the team’s cornerback position group as a whole has as many picks as defensive lineman Greg Hardy. Pathetic.
This defense can’t make a stop in the fourth quarter. With the game tied at 16 and under two minutes to play, the Jets converted a 43-yard pass play – the biggest yardage play of the night – to get to the Dallas 26-yard line and set up the game-winning field goal.
