"The heart of this matchup is easy, Dallas needs the big guys in the middle to squeeze the pocket and clog running lanes, while the Giants will try to keep the ball on schedule and get it out fast. The Cowboys have been strong up front this year. As a defense, Dallas ranks eighth in pass-rush win rate (40%) and fourth in run-stop win rate (32%)."
"But it's Quinnen Williams who's the sledgehammer here, and the Giants' patched-up interior is exactly the kind of assignment that Williams can utilize his impact to create drive-ending plays. On the win-rate board, Williams is king in Dallas, ranking second among defensive tackles in Run Stop Win Rate at 46% with a 15% Pass Rush Win rate that ranks third, that's top-shelf interior defense while consistently drawing extra help which helps the rest of the line."
Dallas depends on its interior defensive line to collapse pockets and clog running lanes, forcing long down-and-distance. The Cowboys rank eighth in pass-rush win rate (40%) and fourth in run-stop win rate (32%). Osa Odighizuwa and Kenny Clark both appear on individual win-rate leaderboards, with Odighizuwa ranking eighth among defensive tackles in pass-rush and run-stop win rates. Quinnen Williams grades out as the team's most impactful interior force, ranking second in Run Stop Win Rate (46%) and third in Pass Rush Win Rate (15%), often drawing extra help. The Giants' interior is weakened by Andrew Thomas and John Michael Schmitz on injured reserve, with rookie Marcus Mbow and veteran Austin Schlottmann stepping in.
