NFL’s scariest units: Does anyone want to face the Cowboys’ defense in the playoffs? | TimCowlishaw
Players celebrate Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory pass interception of Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke during the first quarter of an NFL game at FedEx Field on Sunday, Dec. 12, 2021, in Landover, MD.I have always been a numbers guy. Long before there was anything called “analytics” to break down advanced statistics and tendencies in sports, I believed in the numbers.
Funny isn’t it that the Rams had the defense everyone was talking about two months ago when they acquired Von Miller from Denver before the trade deadline. How could a defense with Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey and Miller — all great veteran players — possibly miss? And yet the Rams are down there in the middle of the pack with Dallas in yards allowed and the worst of the bunch in points allowed. Miller having only one sack is part of the problem.
Rookie Micah Parsons is 1.5 sacks shy of Javon Kearse’s rookie record set in 1999. And Parsons wasn’t even supposed to be rushing the passer when the season began. Second-year cornerback Trevon Diggs tied Everson Walls’ club record with his 11th interception last Sunday. Three defensive linemen have scored touchdowns this season.
The remarkable thing here is that, of course, it was the Dallas offense that was supposed to lead the Cowboys into the playoffs and present itself as the more frightening unit. For one game Sunday night, this was true. But it’s going to take a lot more from that group to suggest anyone is afraid of having to face the Cowboys’ offense.
