What changed was the definition of great defense. With the evolution of the pass game, that means pass rush to many and KC had the #1 sack D but the 27th run D, how did NE attack them?
And in the stats don't matter department, the Cowboys were 5th in run D and got gutted, what does that tell us? What did that game in Indy tell us?
The game still comes down to one key element and both of the last two standing have great ones. Those are the two best OL in the game, that's where the Cowboys O fell apart this season. Looney was OK but no Yosemite. Big Smitty was inconsistent, Williams was overpowered and may be nothing more than a backup and Collins was inconsistent. The Cowboys built it and then stood back to admire it and failed to see the cracks.
