The Dallas Cowboys will not be playing in the Super Wildcard Round this weekend and their defense is a big reason for that.
Much has been said about the number of injuries that the team dealt with on the offensive side of the ball throughout the season, but they still managed to find moments where they looked legitimate and helped the team win. While the Cowboys began to finally generate some turnovers on the defensive side of the ball after their bye, they ultimately were still allowing other teams too much success.
Consider that in the last game of the season the Cowboys let a New York Giants offense that looked suspect at best for most of the year completely dominate them.
