Run defense is a liability

The Eagles didn't do that last time, and the Cowboy defense was having a much harder time against the run at that point in the season. They have actually had a stretch of 4 very good games against the run.
If you remember, the Eagles iced the first game on a 4th qrt - 8 min drive just running the ball down the Cowboys throats. Cowboys have done better but they also had Hankins so idk what to expect.

Cowboys are 23rd worst in run defense. This is my only worry going forward towards the playoffs. The offense is doing their job scoring plenty of points to win an NFL game. The problem has been on the defensive side of the ball. Cowboys are just allowing too many yards rushing the ball. They’ve got to focus on fixing this. The hell with trying to get #11 the DPOY. He’s got plenty of sacks already. Probably a Jerry thing trying to get #11 more sacks. Quinn needs to prove his worth and lay down the law. The hell with the sacks first mentality, those will come, how about stopping the dam run! When a team can run the ball against you, it changes to entire game. It opens up play action pass so a guy like Mills can complete passes. It takes time off the clock. This has been a Quinn weakness with his inability to control the run offense. It’s got to change.
There's nothing worse than a team that can't stop the run, but when you throw Prescot's play into the mix then you can pretty much kiss another season good-bye!
