Snap Counts For The Cowboys’ Defense: Bend But Don’t Break

The Dallas Cowboys defense is where snap counts tend to be the most interesting, because defense tends to use more substitutions and rotations than you have on offense. We’re going to break it down by position group to see what’s going on. This is for week twelve, a game where the defense gave up lots of ground — 505 total yards — but kept Washington out of the end zone until the fourth quarter, and never had to hold with the game on the line. Dallas won 31-26, avenging a Thanksgiving day loss to Washington when they were sporting a rookie quarterback and running back.
