After a slow start last season, where the Dallas Cowboys lost five of their first eight games, their defense began to flex their muscles. It all culminated in Week 13 with a 13-10 primetime victory over the red hot New Orleans Saints, ending their impressive 10-game winning streak.
Featuring one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers in DeMarcus Lawrence, one of the league top linebacker duos in Jaylon Smith and rookie Leighton Vander Esch, and an underrated secondary; the Dallas defense surprised many with their performance in 2018.
The Cowboys ended last season ranked sixth in scoring defense with an average of 20.
