What was once an offense that could run the football largely at will, an attack successful enough to help a team survive a franchise quarterback’s five-game absence, has become a shadow of itself. The Cowboys are a house that lost the foundation, leaving them no chance of finding their footing in a 26-6 defeat at FedEx Field.
So did the Titans, and so do the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Cowboys’ first-round playoff opponent next Monday. At least, the Bucs held running backs Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott to 3.8 yards per carry in the season opener. Linebackers are shooting gaps to disrupt double-team combination blocks. Defensive lines are using movement to disrupt the offensive line’s track. Washington did a strong job of winning one-on-one matchups they created on the line with their alignment and leverage.for the first round of the playoffs. That will help.
