SportsDay’s Cowboys beat writers also discuss whether Dallas will suffer any lingering effects from a stunning loss vs. the Cardinals.
Run defense. It’s that important. The need to improve against the run compelled the Cowboys to draft nose tackle Mazi Smith in the first round. As players and coaches say, each game, they must stop the run in order to earn the right to rush.

Let’s see how the Cowboys respond, but it’s a concern until proven otherwise.
Watt leads the NFL in sacks and Hunter is the leader in tackles for loss. Parsons is off to a fast start but he has some company. When it comes to the MVP, did you see Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday against the Broncos? Pat Mahomes is just getting going. A defensive player winning the MVP award is rare. Lawrence Taylor ... remember him? Only two defenders and one special teams player have won the MVP award, and LT was the last defender to do it in 1986.
