And I disagree.
They aren't much better. They are marginally better at best. Regardless.. We have much better linebackers.
There is absolutely no excuse for a top 5 run defense like we have to allow 7 or 8 yards a carry or whatever it was.
The Chicago Bears were the number one rushing defense in the league. Khalil Mack is better than any single player we have on the defensive line, full stop, and play a 3-4 with an exceptionally strong NT.
The Philadelphia Eagles were the number seven rushing defense in the league. Fletcher Cox, Michael Bennett, Timmy Jernigan, Chris Long, Brandon Graham, and Haloti Ngata are all of SIGNIFICANTLY better quality than the overall Cowboys DL.
I agree that the LBs for the COwboys are better, but that doesn't matter when the OL can overpower your DL with ease and get tot eh second level.
Oh yeah, and both the Bears and Eagles won with a lame Todd Gurley and no CJ Anderson. I don't think you can underrate the addition of a well rested Anderson to the Rams.
