In 2018 the Dallas Cowboys fielded a top six defensive unit. This 2020 group still has many of the key components while adding several upgrades.
The 2018 Dallas Cowboys finished the season 10-6 and won a playoff game. After a poor final playoff performance against the Rams, it’s easy to forget the defense largely carried that team. The offense was below average finishing 22nd in both points and yards.
The stop unit was far more impressive, finishing 6th in points allowed and 7th in yards allowed.
