Getting turnovers is the key to this defense

[snadler]

If you look around the NFL, there really aren’t any great defenses, offense is the key to this league, BUT what helps you win is a defense that creates turnovers, 10 in the last 3 weeks, and sure enough 3-0

Near the end of the 1st quarter being down 14 to 3, Sean Lee was ripping into the Defense. Man they sure turned it around and you're correct. Winning the turnover battle significantly improves your chances of walking away with a W

Turnovers are a key stat for winning. As bad as our DB's have been at times they are finally getting interceptions in bunches.

Getting turnovers is key to all defenses. Were just not use to it so its like omg

Also helps when our offense isn’t turning the ball over, because you know, opposing teams win when their defenses get turnovers..

Well it helps when you don't have Ol' Fumbles Prescott under center.

This. Dak n zeke were contributing 14+ points for weeks at one time.

Is Nolan’s defense finally working?

One could argue that getting turnovers is the key to any defense.

Yup, turnovers. Key to winning and losing.

That's not a good thing to be counting on or depending on......very good teams to great teams do not turn the ball over much... weak poor teams like the last three Dallas has played are bad for a reason, yes they turn the ball over. The run defense is very porous , i think the stats show they are last in the NFL. But your premise is right, turnovers is the key to this defense.

NO. Just because we’ve played 3 crappy offenses doesn’t mean this defense is off the hook. This secondary (X Woods and Anthony Brown mainly) are HORRIBLE. The run defense is the worst I’ve possibly ever seen. Just because they got a few turnovers these past weeks means NOTHING. You are all being tricked like Jerry Jones by smoke and mirrors. These turnovers are nothing but little tricks to trick Jerry into paying them.

The vast majority of football games are decided by: 1) turnovers 2) 3rd downs 3) red zone. Win those and win the game.

Three games of defensive turnovers. Three wins. I hope they keep it up.

I hope they keep it up, then draft playmakers like Diggs in the 1st and 2nd round next year. Bringing in a solid NT to stop the run and have two more guys in the secondary who can make plays, then you have a defense that is completely different than what we saw in the first half of the season.
