Crawford down...More Irving??? Could be a blessing for the team. Mayowa has improved Alot. We need him. Same with Durant. OK maybe it's not a blessing because Crawford plays the run well and is a decent rusher but if irving is for real. Fellas it couldnt have come at a better time

FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys’ defense is in the middle of a terrific stretch, allowing an average of 15 points over the last three games.

They’ve remained productive despite the continued absence of cornerback Morris Claiborne (groin) and safety J.J. Wilcox (thigh), along with more key defenders banged up in Sunday’s 26-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said linebacker Justin Durant (elbow) and defensive end Benson Mayowa would be re-evaluated Monday. Defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford left the game with an apparent shoulder injury and was also expected to be re-evaluated.

The defense produced four takeaways and four sacks against the Bucs despite defensive tackle Cedric Thornton (ankle) and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (back) inactive for Week 15. The Cowboys attempted to manage Lawrence’s back with a reduced snap count in the previous game against the New York Giants.......

That is a lot of injured defensive players, makes yesterday's defensive performance all the more impressive.

Having so many injured defenders makes it IMPERATIVE to me that we handle our business vs. the Lions and make the Philly game as meaningless as possible after securing the 1st round bye. That will essentially give us 2 weeks to rest injured guys like DLaw, Claiborne, Wilcox, Thornton, Durant, Crawford and Mayowa.

Good point. - in our case, the rest factor exceeds the momentum factor - no need for meaningful snaps for a lot of starters in philly if we clinch hfa this week.
