TOP 5 GRADES:
EDGE DeMarcus Lawrence, 93.7 overall grade
DI Maliek Collins, 82.5 overall grade
EDGE Tyrone Crawford, 80.7 overall grade
G Zack Martin, 80.0 overall grade
EDGE Taco Charlton, 76.5 overall grade
PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
T LA’EL COLLINS, 30.1 OVERALL GRADE
Collins had looked much improved at right tackle over his play at guard for the Cowboys, but on Sunday that came undone, as he was completely unable to block Von Miller, arguably the game’s best pure edge rusher. Collins surrendered a sack, a hit and 11 total pressures, and was bailed out of even more poor plays by plays getting nullified by penalty. At one point Von Miller was able to jump offside, jump back, and still beat him for pressure around the edge.
QB DAK PRESCOTT, 71.0 OVERALL GRADE
Prescott wasn’t terrible in this game, but he was far worse than you typically expect, and could easily have had another two interceptions on the day had Dez Bryant not turned defensive back to prevent Aqib Talib picking them off. Balance that with the two he did throw being a throw off his receiver’s hands, and a pass that was tipped at the line, and you have a strange outing for Prescott this week.
EDGE DEMARCUS LAWRENCE, 93.7 OVERALL GRADE
There wasn’t much for bright performances on the Dallas defense, but Lawrence dominated Menelik Watson for much of the game. As a pass-rusher, he tallied one sack, one hit, three hurries, and one more hurry that was nullified by a penalty. Lawrence led the team with four stops against the run.
CB ANTHONY BROWN, 38.3 OVERALL GRADE
As good as the Dallas defensive front was in places, the secondary was lit up, and Brown coughed up six receptions on the ten passes thrown into his coverage, but he wasn’t the only member to suffer. Nolan Carroll gave up a catch every time he was targeted, and even Jourdan Lewis, who notched a pick on a miscommunication, also gave up a touchdown and 75 percent catch rate.
