INDIANAPOLIS -- Who is the favorite to win defensive rookie of the year? The answer might just depend on when you turn on your TV. Flip it on Thursday night for the highly anticipated Dallas-New Orleans game, and you might, like so many others, come away convinced that Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch is the runaway favorite.
One Dallas win did this:
*Gave the Rams the lead in the race for the NFC’s homefield advantage.
*Moved the Cowboys into sole possession of first place in the NFC East.
