6. FOX's 4:25 Falcons-Cowboys game features maybe the two best outside-zone running teams in football. The Cowboys have a unique advantage in their outside zone game, though: Dak Prescott. His mobility often holds the backside run defender, who is worried about a bootleg. That makes it easier for the back (presumably Alfred Morris on Sunday with Ezekiel Elliott likely to begin serving his suspension) to cut it up inside.

7. The guy I heard the most complaints about for leaving off my midseason All-Pro Team was Cowboys defensive end Demarcus Lawrence. No argument here if you think Lawrence belongs. There have been several great edge players this season; continuously strong run defense and improved pass rushing make Lawrence one of them. He has a big challenge this week. The Falcons, with Jake Matthews and Ryan Schraeder, are one of the few offenses with strong pass blockers at both tackle spots

the point about their tackles is well put. There are very few teams with good tackles at both ends. We are one of those when Tyron is playing and Collins is improving
