Dallas Cowboys Defense

✦ Blitz AI

Dallas Cowboys Defense rates as the 30th-ranked unit among 32 defenses at 6.5, reflecting historically poor defensive efficiency through five games in 2026. The unit's core problem is giving up too many points and yards relative to expected value: it ranks in the 5th percentile for efficiency allowed and 11th percentile for points allowed per game, meaning opposing offenses are generating scoring opportunities at an elite rate against it. Sacks per game and takeaway rate offer modest bright spots at the 58th and 39th percentiles respectively, but those contributions cannot offset a defense that is fundamentally compromised at preventing scores. The rating blends the current weak season with the unit's 2024 form (which rated 32.3) due to the short five-game sample, though that baseline adjustment has lifted the number only modestly.
