Morning briefing: 17-Oct-24 - Cowboys have one of the worst run defenses of the modern era
Briefly

The Dallas Cowboys' run defense is facing unprecedented struggles, recording a cumulative EPA of minus-22.31 on run plays—historically one of the worst in the past two decades.
This season, teams are not only running effectively against the Cowboys, but they're also doing so in high volume, showcasing a severe vulnerability in Dallas' defensive strategy.
Despite missing key players like Micah Parsons, the Cowboys' ongoing defensive issues are indicative of a deeper problem, suggesting recovery might not be imminent even with personnel returning.
Drawing the Detroit Lions in Week 6 highlighted the Cowboys' defensive weaknesses, illustrating that their performance is not a one-off incident but part of a concerning trend.
