It’s pretty safe to say that the surprise of the season for the Dallas Cowboys has been its suddenly potent pass rush. Gallons of ink were spent this offseason lamenting the Cowboys inability to get to the passer, enough so that Jerry Jones longed for a “war daddy” to lead the charge. The Cowboys had been without a true “war daddy” since the departure of DeMarcus Ware. Turns out another DeMarcus was ready to take over this year. The Cowboys mid-season MVP has to be DeMarcus Lawrence. You can make the argument that he should be the NFL’s defensive MVP for the first half of the season.
