"This week's story for the Dallas defensive line lives between the guards. The Cowboys' interior has been the steadiest part of the front seven, and the numbers back it up. Dallas are at 39% in Pass Rush Win Rate (14th) and 32% Run Stop Win Rate (6th), with Osa Odighizuwa showing up on the defensive tackle pass-rush leaderboard at 11% which ranks ninth and Quinnen Williams ranking 14th."
"Detroit isn't the vintage five-man bulldozer we're used to, but there are pieces that are still dangerous, mostly on the edges, hence why the game has to go toward the guards for Dallas. Penei Sewell remains an All-Pro caliber tone-setter, he leads all tackles with a 95.7 PFF grade. Taylor Decker is a savvy technician opposite him, and rookie Tate Ratledge has flashed real pop in the run game even though his pass protection needs to catch up."

The Cowboys' interior defensive line has been the steadiest part of the front seven, producing a 39% Pass Rush Win Rate (14th) and 32% Run Stop Win Rate (6th). Osa Odighizuwa ranks 11% on the defensive tackle pass-rush leaderboard and Quinnen Williams ranks 14th, creating a clear objective to attack through the guards. Detroit's threat lives mostly on the edges with Penei Sewell (95.7 PFF) and Taylor Decker, while rookie Tate Ratledge has shown run-game pop but needs better pass protection. ESPN trench metrics show the Lions 28th in Pass Block Win Rate (55%) and 17th in Run Block Win Rate (71%). Injuries at center remain a key variable for Detroit.
