ARLINGTON, Texas — That the Dallas Cowboys were a defense-led team was first made evident in training camp when the offense rarely made any plays in practice.
Now, this was a returning offense that finished first in the NFL in yards and points in 2021 and was led by quarterback Dak Prescott, who set a franchise record with 37 touchdown passes.
Certainly, the loss receiver Amari Cooper and a young offensive line played a role, but the defense was like “Remember the Titans” for much of camp: “Don’t let them gain another yard.”
