The Cowboys run defense vs. Bears wasn’t actually that bad

By all accounts, the Cowboys are fielding one of the best defenses in the NFL for a second consecutive season with Dan Quinn at the helm. But if there had to be one area where this group - led by elite pass rushers like Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, and ballhawks like Trevon Diggs - was somewhat vulnerable, it’s the ability to stop the run.

As a matter of fact, the Dallas defense had allowed at least 150 rushing yards in each of their first four games of the season. They then held the Rams to just 38 yards, though Los Angeles has struggled to run the ball all year.
