There are a lot of things Cowboys fans would like to forget about last Sunday night. Just about everything possible went wrong on offense, the passing game was ineffective, the running game was inconsistent, and for two straight weeks the team has put up 17 points or less. If two games are enough to make people wonder about the offense, are two weeks enough to make people start buying into this defense?
After a very impressive performance against Minnesota the defense followed it up with perhaps their best game of the year in New York, against a better offense at that. The front seven in particular was dominant, getting consistent pressure on Eli Manning, shutting down the Giants running game, forcing turnovers, and consistently getting the ball back for the offense late in the game.
The Giants had 260 yards, but 61 came on one play, the Odell Beckham touchdown, which was a pass that traveled about 10 yards in the air and then Beckham took it another 50. The tackling by the secondary was particularly poor in that instance, but aside from that one single play they gave up less than 200 yards and just three points over four quarters against an offense that’s averaging over 300 yards and about 20 points per game. Impressive.
