Defensive tackle Terrell McClain is playing a major role in the Cowboys success in the 2016 season. He has certainly come into his own as a member of Rod Marinelli's Merry Band of Rushman. He got things started off on a positive note during the week one loss at the hands of the New York Giants when he led all Dallas defensive linemen with five stops including one for a loss. On Sunday he improved on that performance. For the second time this season he had a five-tackle outing, but this time he was also credited for 1.5 sacks.

Not only did McClain get his hands on Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and help bring him to the ground on two occasions, he made life difficult for the Cincinnati passer all afternoon long. He added three pressures to the mix as well. On a day when the defense turned in a spectacular performance, nobody outshined the 6' 2" 300-pounder out of the University of South Florida.

The quick start to the season stands in stark contrast to the disappointing 2015 season which McClain spent recovering from a toe injury. Last year big #97 was credited with just two tackles before spending the rest of the season on injured reserve. McClain is happy to be back on the field helping the Dallas Cowboys get the job done rather than focusing on his rehabilitation process.

The guy always showed flashes, but he was always hurt.

Nice to see him healthy and playing well. Hopefully, all of that continues. He's truly been a bright spot on the defensive line and he seems to get better each week.
