  • It’s no secret the Cowboys have heavily invested high draft picks into their offensive line, resulting in the acquisition of PFF’s second-highest-graded center (Travis Frederick) and third-highest-graded guard (Zack Martin).
  • In response, the rest of the NFC East have been building strong defensive fronts to compete.
  • The Cowboys’ toughest matchups in the trenches come in their own division.
  • Three of Dallas’ worst games in pass protection came against divisional foes, including a 21-pressure outing by the Eagles in Week 8.
