Three ways the Dallas Cowboys can become one of the top sack defenses in the league

It feels like a never-ending journey for the Dallas Cowboys when it comes to sacking the quarterback. You have to go back eight years to find the team finishing in the top 10 in sacks as they racked up 42 of them in 2011. Of course, almost half of those were courtesy of future Hall of Fame defensive end DeMarcus Ware, who tallied 19.5 sacks that season. No other player on the team had more than six.

The Cowboys have improved in the sack department, but they still can’t crack the top 10. The team finished with 39 sacks last year, good enough to rank right in the middle at 16th overall in sacks.
