The Dallas Cowboys pulled out a miracle win over the New York Giants on Sunday night. And a big part of the victory should be credited to the Cowboys revamped defense.

Coming into the regular season opener against the New York Giants, many anticipated the Dallas Cowboys revamped defensive line would excel at rushing the passer, in this case Giants quarterback Eli Manning. And though Manning only completed 20 of his 36 passes, for 193 yards and zero scores, the Cowboys were only able to sack him once.
