How to keep your eyes on the ball
You need to keep an eye on the football, no matter how small.
And it’s not just the team you’re watching.
The defense is also an area of focus.
It’s something that the Cowboys need to focus on and improve.
Here are some ways to keep track of where the ball is going and how the defense is reacting.
1.
Defense metrics at every level of play.
As you can see in this chart, the Cowboys defense is doing an exceptional job of limiting points and yards to the quarterback.
It looks like the Cowboys have done a better job of this this season than it did last.
Here’s a look at the top five offenses and the defense they rank ahead of.

The top-ranked offense in every category.
You’ll notice that the top-ranking offense is actually a division rival.
The Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants have the best rushing offense in the league.

The best passing defense in the NFL.
In the last two seasons, the Dallas Cowboys have allowed just 27 points and 29.7 points per game.
That’s tied for the best mark in the NFC South.
The Cowboys rank second in points allowed per game and third in passing yards per game, and they’re also second in interceptions and third on the league in interceptions per game (3.1).
The defensive line is also very good, which should help them.
They’ve allowed just 1.4 sacks per game over their last four games.

The NFL’s top pass rusher.
Here we see that Dallas’ pass rush has been at the forefront of this year’s dominance in the secondary.
The pass rush at the linebacker position is at the highest level it’s been since the end of the 2013 season, and the Cowboys rank sixth in the country in sacks.
The secondary has allowed just 14 sacks this year, tied for fifth in the nation.
The only defensive player who has allowed more than four sacks in a single game this season is New England Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones.
The most productive player on the defense?
Wide receiver Dez Bryant.
He has three sacks in four games and has scored a touchdown.

The league’s best secondary.
In one of the most exciting, competitive environments in the history of football, the pass rush is at its best.
It has the best defensive grades of any team in the entire NFL, and it ranks fourth in the pass defense.
The defensive front has allowed the fewest passing yards of any defensive front.
The Packers have allowed the most passing yards and touchdowns of any defense.
It was just a year ago that the Packers were ranked fourth in total offense and fourth in scoring defense, but they’ve lost a ton of games this year.
So the Cowboys are still one of three teams in the AFC West that haven’t lost a game.
They also rank second to last in points per play allowed, per Football Outsiders.
