League rankings of the Cowboy defense after first five games:

Points Against - 29
Opponent Yards per Play - 15
Sacks - 7
Opponent Total Yards - 19
Turnovers - 24

Here are those same league ranked categories showing the Cowboy results for games 6-8:

Points Against - 8
Opponent Yards per Play - 12
Sacks - 4
Opponent Total Yards - 7
Turnovers - 2

Average opponent record after 8 games for first five opponents: 3.6-4.4.

Average opponent record after 8 games for last three opponents: 3.3-4.7

The addition of Irving to complement Lawrence, the return of linebackers Lee and and Kinchens amd the re-emergence of a dominant running game has contributed to a vast improvement of the defense. Keep in mind that the young secondary continues to obtain valuable experience they will need as the s3ason progresses.

At this point what we are all hoping for is momentum building victories over other playoff contenders like the Falcons, Eagles, and Vikings. These games will go down to the wire and this is where the world discovers the difference between talented passers like Wentz and Goff and great quarterbacks like Dak Prescott.

Average record after 8 games of Cowboys second half opponents: 4.5-3.5

I believe Sean Lee's hamstring injury is the difference between 5-3 and 7-1 as we sit here today. This is a really good football team that caught a couple tough breaks in those Rams/Packers games, resulting in a difficult hole to dig itself out of.

Kinchens has definelty had a bigger impact then what I and I'm sure most originally thought.

Mmm. Now it's time for lunch in the Kinchen.

I love me a good defence :) A strong defence is my preferred method of building a Superbowl ready team
