They lost again. It was a heart breaker and they almost pulled it out. Dallas Cowboys 26, Detroit Lions 24. Here are a few things we learned during another bad day at the office.
The investment made into the run defense means nothing
The Detroit Lions made it a point to fix their run defense. Sylvester Williams, Ricky Jean Francois and Eli Harold are all players the Lions added this offseason that have always been better run stoppers than anything else in their respective careers. 2017 first-round pick Jarrad Davis and 2016 second-round pick A’Shawn Robinson also earned their draft status mostly because of the work they did defending the run.
