Sean’s Scout: Cowboys Defense Outmatches Saints in Upset Win

It wasn’t their prettiest performance of the season, but it sure was the Dallas Cowboys best win of 2018 as they came away 13-10 winners over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football. By design, the Cowboys made this game ugly to hold an offense averaging over 37 points a game to a season-low ten. In doing …

A few weeks ago, after saving their season in a road victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, NBC Sports’ Rodney Harrison proclaimed the Dallas Cowboys to have a “championship-level defense.” While it excited Cowboys fans, at the time, it really felt false.

Many of us thought he would compete for a starting job this year, but his defensive impact thus far has been pretty much nonexistent. That could change this week with the …
