2. Demarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford

The defensive line of the Dallas Cowboys made the three hours or so against Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz very tough, and even more so, very uncomfortable with pressure put on the third-year quarterback.

Demarcus Lawrence finished the game with five tackles, including one tackle for a loss, and Tyrone Crawford had three tackles, one tackle for loss and a sack. There was also a sack from Randy Gregory, which was a great thing so see for the defense as well.

Crawford and Lawrence were a nice combo for a defense that played very well against the Eagles offense as their disruption of not only the passing game of Philadelphia, but the running game too. The defensive unit of the Cowboys held Eagles running back Josh Adams to 47 yards on seven carries, and next was Corey Clement with 13 yards on five rushes as the Eagles had no rushing touchdowns for the game.

Like mentioned with Elliott, if the Cowboys duo of Lawrence and Crawford, along with the rest of the defensive line, can play at this high of a level from here on out, they can make a run in the NFC East, but that consistency needs to show up again in Week 11.
